The Houston Texans signed cornerback Cam Dantzler on Tuesday after working him out on Monday. Dantzler worked out alongside defensive players Chris Jackson, Ola Adeniyi, and Kenny Willekes. The veteran defensive back is a former third-round draft pick of the Minnesota Vikings and has amassed 149 tackles, three interceptions, and three forced fumbles over 35 games. Dantzler will look to provide some depth options in the Houston secondary as the regular season approaches.
The Buffalo Bills signed free-agent cornerback Cameron Dantzler to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday and released cornerback Kyler McMichael in a corresponding move. Dantzler was just waived by the Washington Commanders at the end of May, but he quickly finds a home in Buffalo. The 24-year-old was originally a third-round selection by the Minnesota Vikings in 2020 out of Mississippi State. In three seasons with the Vikings, he had 149 tackles (125 solo), six tackles for loss, three interceptions, 17 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 35 games (26 starts). Dantzler had 50 tackles in 10 games in his final season in Minnesota in 2022. He'll provide secondary depth at corner behind Tre'Davious White and Kaiir Elam.
The Minnesota Vikings waived cornerback Cameron Dantzler on Friday. He finished his third season with the Vikings in 2022 and recorded 50 tackles (45 solo), three tackles for loss, five passes defensed, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 10 games played (nine starts). The former third-round pick in 2020 has posted 149 tackles (125 solo), six tackles for loss, three interceptions, 17 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 35 games (26 starts) in his three NFL seasons with Minnesota. The 24-year-old will look to sign with another team in free agency to continue his career.
Minnesota Vikings cornerback Cameron Dantzler (ankle, personal) will be inactive for Sunday's playoff game against the New York Giants. The 24-year-old has played just two games since Week 9 and was absent from practice this past week due to a personal matter. Through 10 total contests, Dantzler logged 50 tackles, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. Chandon Sullivan and Kris Boyd should see more snaps in his absence.
Minnesota Vikings defensive back Cameron Dantzler (ankle) has been placed on the injured reserve ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. This is a tough blow to the Vikings secondary, but Dantzler is expected to return this season. Before going down, Dantzler recorded 45 tackles, four passes defended, and forced one fumble in eight games. It sounds like the Vikings plan to use rookie Akayleb Evans and fourth-year corner Duke Shelley in the absence of Dantzler. This is a significant hit to a Vikings secondary that has been above average all season long.
Minnesota Vikings cornerback Cameron Dantzler (ankle) was ruled out for the rest of the Week 9 game against the Washington Commanders with an ankle injury. Dantzler suffered the injury in the first half and was ruled out in the second half. With the 24-year-old out for the rest of the game, the Vikings will ask Patrick Peterson, Chandon Sullivan and Andrew Booth to play more defensive snaps. It remains to be seen if Dantzler's injury is serious enough to keep him out beyond this weekend. Dantzler had one tackle in the game before departing.
The Minnesota Vikings placed cornerback Cameron Dantzler on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday after he tested positive for the virus. Dantzler will need to return two negative tests this week to have a chance at playing in a Week 5 game against the division-rival Detroit Lions at home. So there's a decent chance the Vikings won't have him this weekend. The 23-year-old third-round pick in 2020 played 92 percent of the defensive snaps in the Week 4 loss to the Cleveland Browns, and he's recorded six tackles (four solo) and two passes defensed in three games so far in 2021. Dantzler impressed last year with 46 tackles and two interceptions and started 10 of his 11 games.
Minnesota Vikings cornerback Cam Dantzler was carted off the field on Sunday against the Packers. The team says Dantzler has a neck injury and is being evaluated for a concussion. It was a scary hit and a scary moment for Dantzler, whose long term health should be the main concern right now.
The Minnesota Vikings placed rookie cornerback Cameron Dantzler on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. The Vikings have not disclosed whether Dantzler tested positive himself or has been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person(s). Dantzler is probably a long shot to play in Week 8 against the division-rival Packers, and the rookie's absence would make it even tougher for Minnesota to slow down Aaron Rodgers and company in the passing game. Regardless of whether Dantzler is cleared this weekend, fantasy managers should be looking to avoid the Vikings Defense at all costs.
The Minnesota Vikings have selected Mississippi State cornerback Cameron Dantzler with the No. 89 pick in the third round. Minnesota was looking to add depth at corner after the loss of Xavier Rhodes this offseason. Dantzler might not start right away in 2020, but he has solid upside. He has natural ball skills but didn't perform great during the NFL combine. Dantzler finished with 40 tackles, two tackles for loss and two interceptions through nine games in 2019. The Vikings have been smart to add at defensive back early, and it should pay off in 2020.
