Corral was waived by the Vikings on Monday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports. Corral joined the team after J.J. McCarthy suffered a season-ending knee injury, which didn't give the Ole Miss product much time to make an impact. The 25-year-old will now have to find a new opportunity as he tries to carve out an NFL career after suffering a foot injury during his rookie campaign and leaving the Patriots due to undisclosed reasons.
Lands in Minnesota
The Vikings signed Corral to a contract Friday. Corral signing with Minnesota corresponds to the team's official placement of rookie No. 10 overall pick J.J. McCarthy (knee) on season-ending injured reserve. A 2022 third-round pick, Corral began his NFL career with the Panthers but missed his entire rookie season due to a foot injury. He then spent some time developing with the Patriots, but ultimately didn't get a chance to make his NFL debut with either team. He now gets a chance to compete with Jaren Hall for a role in the quarterback room behind Week 1 starter Sam Darnold and journeyman backup Nick Mullens.
