EAGAN, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms on a contract with cornerback Jeff Okudah to add the third overall pick from the 2020 draft for depth. Okudah's career has been sidetracked by injuries. He was limited to six games last season for the Houston Texans after suffering a hip injury on special teams in the opener. Okudah played in 2023 for the Atlanta Falcons after he was acquired in a trade with the Detroit Lions. Okudah played in only 10 of a possible 33 games over his first two years with the Lions because of hamstring, shoulder and Achilles tendon injuries.
