Signs in Minnesota Vigil signed a one-year deal worth over $1 million guaranteed, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Vigil is joining his third NFL franchise in six seasons. He was a member of the Chargers for one year in 2020, but he saw a significant downturn in role and production. He'll now look to regain some of his value as a depth linebacker with Minnesota before hitting the free-agent market again after the 2021 campaign.

Notches first sack Vigil had nine tackles (six solo) and a sack during Thursday's 30-27 overtime win over the Raiders.

Impact Vigil got off to a slow start this season, but he now has 32 total tackles over his last four games. The 27-year-old doesn't possess much upside as a pass rusher, as he's never had more than one sack in a single season, but his recent usage as a run stopper has provided a fair floor in IDP formats.

Season high in tackles Vigil recorded eight tackles (six solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 27-17 loss against the Bills.

Impact The bump in tackles likely had to do with Vigil replacing Denzel Perryman, who appeared to suffer a back injury in the second half of Sunday's loss. With Kyzir White landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Vigil has an additional opportunity to step in as a starter opposite Kenneth Murray. It's worth monitoring the status of Perryman considering the Chargers face a run-heavy Patriots this week.

All clear for Week 4 Vigil (groin) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Impact Vigil was a full participant during both Thursday's and Friday's practice sessions, so this news isn't quite surprising. Now healthy, he'll assume his usual depth role as the primary back up behind middle linebacker Denzel Perryman.

Pegged as questionable Vigil (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers.

Impact Vigil practiced without limitations Thursday and Friday, so he should be ready Sunday barring a setback. If he indeed suits up, he'll operate as the primary backup to middle linebacker Denzel Perryman.

OCTOBER 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Full-go Thursday Vigil (groin) was a full participant during the Chargers' practice session Thursday.

Impact The Utah State product was unable to partake in practice in any capacity last week, before ultimately being ruled out for Los Angeles' Week 3 loss to the Panthers. Vigil has not only returned to practice, but he has improved to full availability, making it appear that he is on track to suit up Week 4 against the Buccaneers.

OCTOBER 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Limited practice status Vigil (groin) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

Impact Vigil failed to suit up in Week 3 against the Panthers after he didn't practice all last week, so the fact that he was out on the practice field is a positive sign. Expect Thursday's practice session to paint a clearer picture of the chances for the veteran to suit up in Week 4. If the Utah State product is forced to miss Sunday's game, look for Denzel Perryman to handle the bulk of middle linebacker snaps in Week 4.

Inactive as expected Vigil (groin) won't suit up in Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Vigil came into the game doubtful after failing to practice all week, so this news isn't a surprise. With the Utah State product sidelined, look for Denzel Perryman to handle the bulk of middle linebacker snaps in Week 3.
