vike daddy Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Reyes is a native of Talcahuano, Chile, where he grew up as a youth member of the Chilean National Team (basketball). When he was 14 years old, he moved to the United States by himself on an athletic scholarship from North Broward Prep in Florida. Reyes also was a member of the U15 and U17 Chilean National Teams. Basketball was Reyes' first love, and his initial goal was to make it to the NBA. In fact, when he was encouraged by friends to try American football, he declined because he felt it would impede chances of making it to the pros in basketball. During his senior season at Broward, Reyes averaged 24.5 points, 13.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.6 blocks per game for the Eagles. Reyes started his NFL career in 2021 as an undrafted free agent. He made one start for Washington that season and appeared in 11 games, primarily on special teams. Reyes spent the 2022 campaign on the Bears practice squad and joined the Jaguars in May 2023 before initially retiring in August. He opted to make another run at the league, however, and impressed Vikings coaches last weekend. https://www.vikings.com/news/sammis-reyes-tight-end-5-things-to-know hey, maybe he can be a standout special teams player, contribute, and not count against the full roster. meaning, we get him and another player, basically.

If he makes the 53, the special IPP-treatment ends, so there he takes on a normal roster spot. The IPP exemption is just for the practice squad, if I understand the NFL correctly: Quote At the end of training camp, IPP players can either be signed to their assigned club’s 53-man roster or waived. Players who clear waivers may be signed to their assigned team’s practice squad using an IPP exemption that allows for an extra practice squad spot. IPP players signed to a practice squad using the exemption may not be signed to any team’s active roster that season; however, players signed to a practice squad without the exemption are treated in the same way as other practice squad players for roster purposes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
