Vikings' Malik Knowles: Suits up Saturday
Knowles caught his only target for a one-yard touchdown and returned one kickoff for 24 yards in Saturday's 27-12 preseason win over the Browns.
The undrafted receiver out of Kansas State missed all of last season with an undisclosed injury, and he also began training camp dealing with an injury that kept him out of the Vikings' preseason opener. Knowles was in the lineup Saturday, however, and looked pretty healthy, leaping high to snag a one-yard corner fade from Jaren Hall at the back of the end zone on Minnesota's first possession of the second half. Knowles' ability to return kickoffs -- he had 1,254 return yards over his final two years at Kansas State -- could give him an edge on winning at least a spot on the practice squad given the NFL's changes to the kickoff rules this season.

Vikings' Malik Knowles: Reverts to reserve/NFI list
Knowles (undisclosed) has reverted to the Vikings reserve/non-football injury list, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
After getting waived with a non-football injury designation Monday, Knowles ultimately went unclaimed.

Malik Knowles: Waived with injury designation

Knowles dealt with a PCL injury following the 2022 campaign, but Minnesota still signed him as an undrafted free agent just hours after the draft concluded. It's unclear if his current injury is related to the PCL issue, but the rookie out of Kansas State will have to prove he's healthy before landing another NFL opportunity.

Vikings' Malik Knowles: Joins Minnesota as UDFA
Minnesota signed Knowles as an undrafted free agent Saturday.
Knowles, Thayer Thomas and Cephus Johnson, who's being converted from quarterback to wide receiver, all joined Minnesota's crowded wideout group following the 2023 NFL Draft, but they'll likely be long shots to make the initial 53-man roster. During his final season at Kansas State, Knowles caught 48 passes for 725 yards and two touchdowns while rushing eight times for 164 yards and three additional scores. The 6-foot-3 wideout also has experience as a kick returner, totaling three return touchdowns over five collegiate campaigns.
