The Minnesota Vikings re-signed offensive guard Dakota Dozier to a contract, the team announced Tuesday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed by the Vikings, however the NFL Network reported it was a one-year deal.
The Vikings also placed tight end Hale Hentges on the reserve/retired list. Minnesota will hold his rights should Hentges elect to return to the NFL.
Dozier started all 16 games at left guard for the Vikings last season after signing a one-year, $1 million contract on March 30, 2020. He played in all 16 games (starting four) with Minnesota in 2019 after spending his first five NFL campaigns with the New York Jets.
