Vikings promoted WR Emmanuel Arceneaux from their practice squad.

The former CFL star finished the preseason with 86 yards on four receptions, catching a pass in each of the Vikings’ exhibition games. He’ll take Stephen Burton’s spot on the roster as Minnesota’s No. 4 receiver down the stretch.

ESPN 1500 believes fourth-round rookie Greg Childs is the top option to fill in at split end while Jerome Simpson is suspended.

Simpson is not eligible to play until Week 4. Childs has the size at 6'3/219 and a 4.55 40 to go with it, but he’s been battling a knee injury since his junior year at Arkansas. He also missed the majority of the offseason program due to a calf strain. Childs will have to prove his health and beat out Stephen Burton/Emmanuel Arceneaux at training camp.

Wide Receiver
Stephen Burton “appears to be the front-runner” for the Vikings’ fifth receiver spot.

Fourth-rounder Jarius Wright is likely locked in, and Michael Jenkins’ salary cut gives him a better chance to stick. Burton’s primary competition could be former CFL star Emmanuel Arcenaux, who has improved more than any player WRs coach George Stewart has coached in 25 years. Kerry Taylor and Bryan Walters are also in the mix. Burton could end up starting for the suspended Jerome Simpson in Week 1 if he makes the team.

Jets waived WRs Emmanuel Arceneaux and Thomas Mayo.

A former CFL star, Arceneaux appeared in three games for the Vikings in 2011, but couldn’t crack an active roster last season. Heading back to Canada may be his best professional bet. Mayo has never appeared in an NFL game.

Vikings signed former CFL WR Emmanuel Arceneaux to a three-year, $1.8 million contract.

The key number is a $75K signing bonus, which on a three-year deal is the equivalent of a sixth-round pick. Arceneaux played college ball at Alcorn State and spent the past two seasons with the BC Lions. He ran forty in the 4.44-4.52 range for the Vikings, and will have a shot at the fifth receiver job this offseason.

Vikings waived WR Emmanuel Arceneaux.
