The Vikings cut Valladay from the practice squad Tuesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports. The decision to cut Valladay corresponds with the Vikings signing fellow running back Corey Kiner to the practice squad. Valladay last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Jets, when he played on special teams in his lone game. He'll look to join a team in need of a running back who can also serve on special teams.

Xazavian Valladay: Breaking News
Sticking around Minnesota
Valladay was signed to the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports. Valladay went unclaimed on waivers after being cut by Minnesota on Tuesday, and he will now stick around as a member of the team's practice unit. The running back will look to earn an elevation to the active roster at some point this season.
Cut by Minnesota
The Vikings waived Valladay on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Valladay signed with Minnesota late in camp and played 28 offensive snaps in the final preseason game, rushing eight times for 39 yards. The 27-year-old running back has appeared in one career regular-season contest but has yet to log an NFL rushing attempt.
