CB Jeff Okudah (1st Team Unanimous All-American, Minnesota Vikings)

  • Jeff Okudah made his first appearance for the Texans since Week 1 after he was activated off injured reserve. In his first game back from a hip injury, Okudah recorded two tackles but was beat by Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin for a 64-yard touchdown.

Former Ohio State football player signs deal with NFC North team​

The former Buckeye has signed a one-year deal to play for the Minnesota Vikings.

Okudah has signed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings. This comes after he played one year with the Houston Texans, but never actually saw the field. He suffered another injury and didn't get activated until November. Even so, he never played for Houston.

Now, Okudah is hoping to stay healthy this season and actually make an impact for the Vikings. He is still just 26 years old. If Okudah is going to be an effective NFL player, he has to be healthy in Minnesota. He's not guaranteed to make the team, so training camp is going to be tough work for him.

Minnesota becomes the fourth team that Okudah has played for in his NFL career. He's hoping that it ends up being the last, because that would mean he's finally found a home. It's going to be tough for him to find a lot of playing time based on his past injuries.
