The Vikings signed former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Will Sutton.

Sutton, Chicago's third-round draft pick in 2014, was released by the Bears last week after he started 18 games for them over his first three NFL seasons. He played in eight games in 2016 before suffering a season-ending ankle injury. The 25-year-old has 60 career tackles with no sacks.

Sutton, who went to Arizona State, is listed at 6-1 and 290 pounds.

To make room for him, the Vikings waived 25-year-old defensive tackle Toby Johnson. He had two tackles in his two games last season.

The match originally was set for Aug. 13, but Atlanta announced the postponement of several matches in mid-April because of construction work on its stadium.
