What happened: Culp arrives in Minnesota eight days after the Cleveland Browns released him on Oct. 20, joining Nesbit to bolster the tight end room. In the corresponding Wednesday transaction, Cal Poly rookie wideout Briscoe shifted to the practice squad/injured list.

Why it matters: Bringing in two tight ends gives the Vikings' practice squad immediate positional Minnesota holds the NFC's No. 1 seed with an unbeaten 6-0 record following Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

What to watch: Minnesota has until the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline to finalize any active-roster additions as its six-game winning streak continues.
