Signs with practice squad Gaskin signed with the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday.

Impact The running back was released by the team earlier in the day. Gaskin has been on and off the Minnesota practice squad throughout the regular season, and while he was signed to the active roster Oct. 8, he was a healthy scratch for the past two games. Gaskin has three carries for -1 yard, one catch for 11 yards and no touchdowns in 2024.

Let go by Minnesota The Vikings released Gaskin on Tuesday.

Impact Gaskin was signed from the Vikings' practice squad to the active roster Oct. 8, but he was a healthy scratch for each of Minnesota's last two regular-season games. He appeared in the first five games of the regular season, so while Gaskin could return to the Vikings' practice squad, he could explore his options and sign with a team in need of a running back with special teams experience.

Won't play Week 8 Gaskin (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Rams.

Impact Gaskin will be a healthy scratch for a second straight game as the Vikings roll with Aaron Jones, Ty Chandler and Cam Akers as the three backfield options for Thursday's game. Gaskin's next chance at suiting up will be Week 9 against the Colts on Nov. 3.

Inactive against Detroit Gaskin is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against Detroit, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Gaskin has shuffled between the active roster and practice squad this season as the No. 3 running back. However, it looks like he's fallen to the No. 4 running back position with the Vikings acquiring Cam Akers, who is active against the Lions.

Signed off practice squad The Vikings signed Gaskin off their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Gaskin had appeared in each of Minnesota's first five games, seeing most of his snaps on special teams while carrying three times for minus-1 yard to go with an 11-yard reception. With Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell labeled lead back Aaron Jones (hip) as week-to-week heading into the team's Week 6 bye, Gaskin will be on hand to provide depth behind top backup Ty Chandler if Jones is unable to play in Minnesota's next game Oct. 20 versus the Lions.

Signed to Vikes' active roster The Vikings signed Gaskin off the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction logs.

Impact It's the second time this season that Gaskin has been signed to the active roster. He will provide some backfield depth in case Aaron Jones were to miss extended time due to a right hip injury he suffered in Sunday's win against the Jets. In that game, Gaskin played 10 snaps (four on offense, six on special teams) and recorded two carries for two yards and one catch for 11 yards.

Moved off active roster Gaskin reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday.

Impact Gaskin had two carries for two yards and one reception for 11 yards on his lone target in Sunday's win over the Jets in London. The Washington product has played in all five games for the Vikings this season and will be a likely candidate to be elevated again in Week 7 after the team's bye week.

Comes off bench against Jets Gaskin had two carries for two yards and one reception for 11 yards on his lone target in Sunday's win over the Jets in London.

Impact Gaskin played five snaps on offense as he became the backup running back after Aaron Jones left with a hip injury. He could be the backup running back to Ty Chandler if Jones is sidelined after Minnesota's bye in Week 6.

Impact Gaskin was on the Vikings' active roster for the first four games of the regular season, but he was released Thursday to make room for tight end Robert Tonyan.

Back with Minnesota The Vikings signed Gaskin to the practice squad Thursday.

Impact Gaskin was let go from the active roster earlier Thursday to make room for tight end Robert Tonyan, but the former will stick around on the practice squad. Gaskin had played sparingly over the first four regular-season games as he was firmly behind Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler on the backfield depth chart. Over that span, Gaskin played 21 snaps (two on offense, 19 on special teams) and he turned his lone carry into minus-three yards.

Gets let go Gaskin was released by the Vikings on Thursday.

Impact Gaskin appeared in all four games for Minnesota this season and spent time as a kick returner for the franchise. His exit comes as the team opted to sign Robert Tonyan to their active roster to bolster their tight end depth for Sunday's matchup with the Jets in London. Gaskin is a likely candidate to return to the team as a member of its practice squad where he's already spent some time last season and this season, as well.

Signed off practice squad The Vikings signed Gaskin to the 53-man roster from the practice squad Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

Impact Gaskin had been elevated from the practice squad for Minnesota's first two regular-season games, and the placement of tight end Nick Muse (hand) on IR now opens a spot for him on the active roster. He'll continue handling a depth role behind Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler, while also contributing in the return game, Sunday versus the Texans.

Reverts to practice squad Gaskin reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday.

Impact Gaskin played four special teams snaps during Sunday's victory over the 49ers but failed to record any stats. As Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler are the only two half backs on the active roster, Gaskins could be elevated again versus the Texans next week.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated for Week 2 The Vikings elevated Gaskin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Gaskin will be elevated to the active roster for a second straight week, and he will serve as the No. 3 running back behind Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Gaskin played seven snaps (two on offense, five on special teams) and rushed for minus-three yards on one carry in the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Giants.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to practice squad Gaskin reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Gaskin played seven snaps Sunday (two on offense, five on special teams), and he lost three yards on his lone carry. Gaskin served as the No. 3 running back behind Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler, and he would likely reprise that role should he be elevated for Week 2 against the 49ers.

Reverts to practice squad Gaskin reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Gaskin played seven snaps Sunday (two on offense, five on special teams), and he lost three yards on his lone carry. Gaskin served as the No. 3 running back behind Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler, and he would likely reprise that role should he be elevated for Week 2 against the 49ers.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Just one carry in season opener Gaskin lost three yards on one carry on his lone snap on offense in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Impact Gaskin is the No. 3 running back but won't get much usage as long as Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler are healthy. Gaskin did get five snaps on special teams, mostly on kickoffs, so he could be a factor at some point as a returner.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Pushed up to active roster Gaskin was elevated to the Vikings' active roster Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact This had been widely assumed after Gaskin failed to make the initial 53-man roster leaving the Vikings with just two active running backs ahead of Week 1. At minimum the 2019 draft pick figures to be a potential return specialist and he could see some playing in the passing game spelling both Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to be elevated before Week 1 Gaskin will likely be elevated to the game day roster from the practice squad before Week 1 to serve as Minnesota's kick returner, Will Ragatz of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact The Vikings released Gaskin on Tuesday, leaving only Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler in the backfield on the initial 53-man roster, but later signed him to the practice squad. It sounds like Gaskin will serve as the No. 3 RB but the kick return job could be in flux as the Vikings figure out the position with the new kick return rules. Both the No. 3 RB role and kickoff return job are open after the Vikings surprisingly released Kene Nwangwu.

Signing with Vikings' practice squad Gaskin is signing with Minnesota's practice squad, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The Vikings released Gaskin on Tuesday, leaving only Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler in the backfield on the initial 53-man roster. They may look at external additions but will at least keep Gaskin around for insurance on the practice squad.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Released by Minnesota Gaskin was released by Minnesota, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Gaskin faced an uphill battle to win a roster spot as he was fourth on the depth chart at running back behind Aaron Jones, Ty Chandler and Kene Nwangwu. He was solid in the preseason (13 carries for 61 yards in Saturday's finale), so he could find work as a reserve elsewhere in the league or land on Minnesota's practice squad.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Big workload Saturday Gaskin carried the ball 13 times for 61 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason win over the Eagles. He also caught two of three targets for six yards.

Impact The veteran running back got the start in the Vikings' exhibition finale, which doesn't bode well for his chances of making the 53-man roster, but he had another productive preseason performance. Gaskin might have been auditioning for other teams with Aaron Jones, Ty Chandler and Kene Nwangwu set at the top of the depth chart, but if he does wind up back on Minnesota's practice squad, he seems capable of giving the Vikings reliable snaps if called upon.
