Thu Mar 13 21:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Vikings Sign Offensive Tackle Justin Skule to Bolster Offensive Line
**MINNEAPOLIS, MN** – The Minnesota Vikings have signed free agent offensive tackle Justin Skule, the team announced today. The move comes as insurance for left tackle Christian Darrisaw, who suffered a season-ending ACL and MCL tear in October.
Skule, who boasts extensive NFL experience, spent last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, appearing in all 17 games with five starts. Prior to his time in Tampa, he played three seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, where he appeared in 31 games with 12 starts. His consistent presence on the field makes him a valuable addition to the Vikings’ offensive line depth chart. The Vikings are hoping Skule’s experience will provide a reliable backup should any further injuries occur.
