Key details:
– Dyson finished the 2026 preseason with 1.0 sacks and 3 quarterback hurries, the latter leading the Vikings in the preseason studies.
– Defensive coordinator Brian Flores will continue to develop Dyson as part of his unit.
– Dyson, 25, began his NFL journey as an undrafted free agent with the Carolina Panthers in 2024. His most recent NFL action prior to the 2026 preseason came during the 2024 exhibition slate.
– In 2026, Dyson spent time in the United Football League, recording 27 total tackles and 4.5 sacks across 10 games for the Houston Gamblers.
Dyson joins a Vikings practice squad that also includes recent addition Kyle Van Noy. Van Noy’s arrival had raised questions about Dyson’s status, but Dyson ultimately returned to Minnesota after a prior injury settlement.
The situation remains fluid, and further updates are anticipated as the team evaluates its depth on the edge and special-teams units for the coming season.
