The Minnesota Vikings will re-sign former first-round pick Laquon Treadwell with fellow wide receiver Chad Beebe nursing an ankle injury, multiple media outlets reported on Tuesday.
Treadwell, who was selected by Minnesota with the 23rd overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, was cut by the Vikings on Aug. 31.
The 24-year-old recorded 35 receptions for 302 yards and a touchdown in 2018. He has 56 catches for 517 yards and one score in 40 career games.
Beebe sustained an ankle injury in Minnesota’s 34-14 win over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. An MRI on Monday revealed torn ligaments in his ankle, although it is not immediately known how long Beebe will be sidelined.
Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs and rookie Olabisi Johnson are the lone receivers on the depth chart for the Vikings (2-1), who will visit the Chicago Bears (2-1) on Sunday.
