The Vikings signed Moreau on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Moreau started in 11 of 16 regular-season games for the Broncos last season, recording 46 tackles (33 solo), seven passes defended and one interception. The 2017 third-round pick out of UCLA brings much-needed depth at corner after Mekhi Blackmon suffered a season-ending torn ACL injury in the first practice of Vikings training camp, while fellow corners Byron Murphy (knee - MCL) and Shaquill Griffin (leg) are also dealing with injuries.

The Vikings signed Moreau on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Moreau started in 11 of 16 regular-season games for the Broncos last season, recording 46 tackles (33 solo), seven passes defended and one interception. The 2017 third-round pick out of UCLA brings much-needed depth at corner after Mekhi Blackmon suffered a season-ending torn ACL injury in the first practice of Vikings training camp, while fellow corners Byron Murphy (knee - MCL) and Shaquill Griffin (leg) are also dealing with injuries.
After logging just 27 snaps on defense over Denver's first six games of the season, Moreau displaced the struggling Damarri Mathis as a starting boundary corner opposite All-Pro Patrick Surtain in the Broncos' Week 7 win over the Packers. Moreau proceeded to play all 61 of the Broncos' snaps on defense in the victory, recording four tackles and a pass breakup. With Moreau drawing favorable reviews from the coaching staff for his Week 7 performance, he'll take on an expanded role once again Week 8 but draws a much tougher matchup in the form of Patrick Mahomes and the high-powered Chiefs offense.
