George Iloka

He's been placed on injured reserve. Iloka, 30, was out of the league in 2019 before signing on with the Vikings in August. His knee injury is more bad news for a Vikings defense getting boat raced on the regular in 2020. 

30-year-old Illoka spent last season out of the league. He was with the Vikings in 2018, playing just 11 percent of snaps. Illoka would be a depth signing that can contribute on special teams.

Iloka finds himself a free agent after training camp for a second straight year. He appeared in all 16 games for the Vikings last year, serving as a backup safety. He could see some interest from teams seeking a veteran safety presence or those facing injuries at the position.

Iloka suffered the injury after getting trucked by Patriots running back LaGerrette Blount. He was knocked to the ground and held his shoulder after the play, and then was taken to the sideline to be evaluated. He missed practice time earlier this week with an injury to the same shoulder, so this may have been an aggravation.
