🚨 NEW NUMBERS ALERT 🚨 #5 Zemaiah Vaughn #19 Brett Thorson #29 Jacob Thomas #32 Chaz Chambliss #35 Bryce Phillips #81 Mi Via @Vikings on X

What happened: Zemaiah Vaughn will wear No. 5, Brett Thorson No. 19 and Jacob Thomas No. 29. Chaz Chambliss moves to No. 32, Bryce Phillips to No. 35 and Michael Briscoe to No. 81.

Why it matters: Chambliss changed numbers during camp while taking snaps at outside linebacker and backup fullback. His return to No. 32 preserves that cross-position option under NFL numbering rules.

By the numbers: Active roster: Vaughn, Thorson, Thomas and Chambliss. Practice squad: Phillips and Briscoe.

What to watch: Watch whether Chambliss receives regular-season snaps at fullback.
