Minnesota Vikings put S Andrew Sendejo in IR

The Minnesota Vikings placed safety Andrew Sendejo on injured reserve because of a knee injury and promoted wide receiver Isaac Fruechte from the practice squad on Saturday.

Sendejo started 14 games in his sixth NFL season, recording 69 tackles, four pass breakups and two interceptions. He also contributed on special teams, recording six tackles.

Fruechte spent the 2015 season on the Vikings' practice squad after joining the team as an undrafted free agent out of Minnesota. He spent this offseason with the Vikings and rejoined Minnesota's practice squad in September after a brief stint on the Detroit Lions' practice squad.
