Desmond Ridder‘s well-traveled NFL journey will include a trip up north. The Vikings are signing the former Falcons third-round pick, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero report.

The Raiders did not tender Ridder as a restricted free agent this offseason, and the Bengals did not retain him following roster cuts last month. But Ridder will head to Minnesota following J.J. McCarthy‘s ankle injury. This is an active-roster deal, as Ridder will join UDFA rookie Max Brosmer in backing up Carson Wentz in Week 3.

More to come.
