Dubose Likely to Miss Entire 2016 Season

Wednesday, May 25

The Vikings selected Dubose in the sixth round of the 2015 draft. According to Sports-Reference.com, he registered four sacks and 7.5 tackles for loss in his senior year with the Louisville Cardinals.

The 24-year-old didn't see the field in his rookie year with Minnesota and instead spent the regular season on the practice squad. The Vikings added him to the active roster ahead of the playoffs but didn't use him in their Wild Card Round defeat to the Seattle Seahawks.

Vensel noted Dubose was practicing with the second unit during Wednesday's organized team activities.

According to 1500 ESPN's Andrew Krammer, Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer is keeping starting defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd out of OTAs to allow him to recover from injuries he suffered last year. With Dubose's injury leaving the team even thinner at the position, the Vikings will likely look to add another defensive tackle in the near future.
