Jalen Reagor: Headed back to practice squad

Reagor released by Vikings after one season

Jalen Reagor's time with the Minnesota Vikings has come to an end. The wide receiver was released by the team on Tuesday, August 15, 2023, after just one season with the team. Reagor was acquired by the Vikings in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles in August 2022, but he failed to make a significant impact in Minnesota.

Reagor's struggles in Minnesota

Reagor caught just 17 passes for 212 yards and one touchdown in 11 games with the Vikings. He was also targeted just 30 times, which was the lowest number among all Vikings wide receivers. Reagor's struggles were due in part to the presence of Justin Jefferson, who is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. Jefferson led the Vikings in receiving yards and touchdowns in 2022, and he was the clear-cut number one target in the passing game.

Reagor's future

It is unclear what the future holds for Reagor. He is still just 24 years old, so he has plenty of time to turn his career around. However, he will need to find a team that is willing to give him a chance to prove himself. Reagor has shown flashes of potential in the past, so he could still be a valuable contributor to an NFL team. However, he will need to work hard to improve his consistency and production.
