The Minnesota Vikings are adding a tight end. The team signed James O'Shaughnessy to its practice squad yesterday. The 30-year-old is in his eighth season in the NFL. He caught 24 passes for 244 yards in seven games with Jacksonville in 2021. O'Shaughnessy and the Vikings host the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday.
The Minnesota Gophers suffered their first defeat of the season in a dreadful 69-53 loss to DePaul at Williams Arena. The Gophers shot just 33-point-three percent from the field and trailed by 12 at the break. Dawson Garcia scored 19 points in the losing effort, while Pharrel Payne added 12 off the bench. The Gophers fall to 2-and-1, and they host Central Michigan on Thursday night.
The Minnesota Twins have locked up a right-handed power hitter for the 2023 season. The team signed outfielder Kyle Garlick to a one-year, 750-thousand dollar deal yesterday, avoiding arbitration with the 30-year-old. Garlick has been with the Twins since 2021, and he typically only starts against left-handed pitchers. The outfielder hit .233 with nine home runs and 18 RBI in 66 games with Minnesota last season.

Terry McLaurin had 128 receiving yards for Washington, who improved to 5-and-5 on the season. Jalen Hurts threw for 175 yards, two touchdowns, an interception and added a rushing score. The once-perfect Eagles are now 8-and-1.
