MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -The Vikings on Friday waived Erasmus James, the former first-round draft pick who had a series of knee injuries during his time with Minnesota.
The defensive end was one of the top-rated pass rushers coming out of Wisconsin in 2005, when Minnesota made him the 18th overall pick. But after notching four sacks in 15 games during his rookie season, James tore the ACL in his left knee in Week 2 of the 2006 season.
James returned last season and played sparingly in six games. He suffered a similar injury to the same knee in Week 13 against Detroit and landed on injured reserve.
