The Vikings swapped out one linebacker for another on Monday.

They announced the signing of Kenny Dyson. Arden Walker was waived to make room for Dyson on the team’s 90-man roster.

Dyson signed with the Panthers after going undrafted out of Bryant in 2024. He appeared in two games for Carolina during his rookie season and was credited with a pair of tackles.

The Panthers parted ways with Dyson in 2025 and he most recently played with Houston during the UFL’s 2026 season. He had 27 tackles, seven tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks for the Gamblers.

Walker signed with the Vikings after he was passed over in this year’s draft.
