Zeke Correll’s NFL debut has to wait. Minnesota signed Correll as an undrafted free agent after Notre Dame, but a fractured ankle in a workout ended his rookie year before it began and led to his waivers. The injury undercuts a potential interior‑line depth piece and shifts Vikings’ camp plans to other veterans and UDAs. Fantasy managers shouldn’t chase Correll this season; the odds of a quick path to the active roster are slim without a clean rehab and a favorable landing spot.
The Notre Dame arc and the NC State graduate transfer add a college flavor to the NFL grind, underscoring how UDFA linemen must flashes of versatility and standout camp showings to break through. Correll’s return timeline will dictate any future fantasy or betting angles, as teams weighing interior OL depth will monitor his recovery and unveiling with renewed interest if he lands with a new team.
In the meantime, Minnesota’s depth remains in flux, and Correll’s absence opens opportunities for other linemen to ascend the depth chart. For fantasy speculators, this is a wait‑and‑see story: if Correll resurfaces on a new roster and carves out a role, his value would hinge on a clear path to actual snaps rather than training camp buzz.
