Vikings waive Cole, promote Murphy

Vikings make move to add depth at offensive tackle

November 7, 2013 at 11:34PM

Hello from Mall of America Field. The Vikings announced that they have waived linebacker Audie Cole and promoted offensive tackle Kevin Murphy from the practice squad.

The Vikings needed a backup offensive tackle with Phil Loadholt sidelined because of a concussion. J'Marcus Webb will start in his place and Murphy presumably will backup both tackle positions.

The Vikings will announce their inactive list 90 minutes before kickoff.
