N’Keal Harry is a free agent again after being released by the Minnesota Vikings on Monday.
The New England Patriots 2019 first-round pick has not played in a game for the Vikings this season. Harry signed with the Vikings in August 2023 and appeared in nine games due to injuries to Justin Jefferson.
The Vikings also announced that they have signed former Patriots linebacker Calvin Munson to their practice squad.
Harry switched positions from wide receiver to tight end – something Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said he was “excited” about. But he never got the chance to show whether the position change would help him get on the right track.

Harry’s time with the Patriots did not go as planned. He struggled to stay healthy and did not reach the end of his rookie contract as the Patriots declined his fifth-year option. The Chicago Bears acquired Harry in 2022 for a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. He played in seven games after a stint on injured reserve with an ankle injury.
He also had a difficult start to 2023. After signing with the Vikings in August, they opted to release him 18 days later. Harry re-signed with the team’s practice squad in September and was elevated the following month.
It’s unclear how much interest Harry will attract as he looks to continue his career elsewhere.
