Dolphins released CB Benny Sapp.

Sapp is the scapegoat for Tom Brady’s 517-yard performance after taking a stiff-arm from Wes Welker on the late-game 99-yard touchdown play. To be fair, Sapp also made a savvy play jumping the route that led to Brady’s lone interception. The Dolphins will apparently look for an upgrade.

Vikings signed CB Benny Sapp, formerly of the Dolphins.

Sapp hasn’t played this year since being released following Tom Brady’s 517-yard regular season opener. He’s a special teamer and dime back at best.

Vikings CB Benny Sapp has been cited for misdemeanor assault after a Friday morning incident with security at a Minneapolis children’s hospital.

Attempting to leave the hospital after dropping off his son, Sapp allegedly had two separate confrontations with security officers as he attempted to use a blocked-off exit. Sapp was only cited, and not arrested. The Vikings have said they are “aware” of the incident. Sapp has graded out positively by Pro Football Focus since being signed by the Vikes in November.

Usual Vikings nickel back Benny Sapp will start at left corner for Antoine Winfield (foot) against the Steelers on Sunday.

Sapp normally mans the slot in passing situations, but he will draw the start over Karl Paymah. When the Vikes go to their nickel package, Sapp will move inside and Paymah will be on the outside. Upgrade all members of the Steeler passing attack.

Vikings LCB Antoine Winfield was in a walking boot Monday, but has not been ruled out for Week 7.

At this point, it seems unlikely Winfield will be able to go against the Steelers. Backup Karl Paymah was burned in Sunday’s win over the Ravens and may not get another chance. Benny Sapp could have to play more corner, with rookie Asher Allen getting the call in nickel packages. It would be a big boost for Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers’ passing game this week.

Vikings DB Benny Sapp was forced to leave Sunday’s win over the Lions with a groin injury.

Sapp was already taking the place of Antoine Winfield, who remained out with a foot injury. Karl Paymah took over at left corner and rookie Asher Allen stepped in as the nickel back. Sapp doesn’t think his injury is serious and the Vikings will need him against the Seahawks next week if Winfield can’t go again.
