Marcus Sherels

Sherels' opportunity to rejoin Minnesota's roster comes following the placement of Mike Hughes (neck) on injured reserve. The special-teams ace stands to take over as the team's top punt returner, per Chad Graff of The Athletic. The 32-year-old previously spent nine consecutive seasons with the Vikings after joining the team as an undrafted free agent in 2010.

Sherels joined the team a little more than a month ago. He only ended up seeing the field in special teams situations and is now set to look for a new opportunity.

Sherels has gained extensive special teams experience since joining the league as a rookie with the Vikings back in 2010, appearing in a total of 123 games to this point. The former Minnesota Gopher may not see much action at cornerback in Miami, but he could relieve wide receiver Jakeem Grant of return duties as the latter looks to get more involved in the offensive game plan.

The 32-year-old re-signed with the Vikings in late September to serve as the punt returner, but he ended up losing the job to Mike Hughes. Sherels has played hardly any defensive snaps since 2013 and will have to look for return work elsewhere.
