The Vikings have announced a couple of roster moves on Wednesday. Minnesota has signed running back Jermar Jefferson and waived running back Jordan Mims.

He entered the NFL as a third-round pick of the Jets in 2020 and spent five seasons in New York. In his career, Davis has appeared in 84 games with 34 starts. He has totaled 217 tackles, 19 passes defensed, nine interceptions, five forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and half a sack to go with 23 special teams tackles.
