Weatherly is listed as a starting defensive end opposite Danielle Hunter on Minnesota's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason.
Weatherly is competing with D.J. Wonnum for the starting job opposite Hunter, but both players should get plenty of snaps in a rotation. Weatherly previously was with the Vikings from 2016 to 2019, recording 67 tackles, 17 QB hits and six sacks in 49 games (seven starts). He then signed a two-year, $12.5 million contract with Carolina last offseason, but he was released in February after finishing the 2020 campaign with zero sacks and three QB hits in nine games (all starts).
