Johnny Hekker: Released by Minnesota
Hekker was released by the Vikings on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Hekker, who has been in the NFL since 2012, played for the Rams, Panthers and Titans throughout his career. The 36-year-old most recently signed a deal with the Vikings, though he couldn't win the starting job over rookie Brett Thorson. Hekker is a four-time Pro Bowler, so there is a chance he lands with a new team heading into the 2026-27 campaign.

He punted for Tennessee last season and averaged 46.8 yards per kick, which ranked 20th in the league among players with at least 25 punts. With Minnesota, he'll replace Ryan Wright, who signed with the Saints earlier in March.

Titans' Johnny Hekker: Under the weather
Hekker is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots due to an illness, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
The illness is a new issue for Hekker, who is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game. The Titans don't have a punter on the practice squad, which means Joey Slye and Brandon Allen may have to handle punting and holding duties, respectively, if Hekker is not cleared to play.
