The Vikings added to their depth at fullback by signing lightly used ex-Redskin Nehemiah Broughton.

Broughton’s only NFL game action came in six games in 2005 and ’06, when he played on special teams mainly and had one carry for three yards. He was on injured reserve in ’07 and spent last season on injured reserve.

Broughton will compete with Naufahu Tahi and Jeff Dugan. The Vikings have kept three fullbacks on the roster at times in recent years.
