Dantzler (undisclosed) tried out for the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The cornerback signed with Buffalo in June, was waived/injured July 28, and then reverted to injured reserve before being let go with an injury settlement. Dantzler was selected by the Vikings in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft and started 26 of 35 games over three seasons. The fourth-year pro was waived by Minnesota in March after recording 50 tackles and five passes defended in 2022.

Dantzler signed a one-year contract with the Bills on Wednesday. Dantzler will head to Buffalo after being waived by the Commanders last week. The cornerback played in 10 games with the Vikings last season, recording 50 tackles, five pass deflections, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Dantzler will provide the Bills with additional depth behind Tre'Davious White and Kaiir Elam in the secondary.

The Vikings waived Dantzler on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Dantzler began his career in Minnesota back in 2020 and drew nine starts last season, but he was ultimately part of the reason why the Vikings sported a league-worst pass defense. After having registered 50 tackles and five passes defensed in 2022, Dantzler will now look for playing opportunities elsewhere.

Dantzler (ankle) is expected to be out Sunday against the Giants, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Danztler was unable to practice this week and has only played twice since Week 9 against Washington. His likely absence will be a blow to the team's depth at secondary and likely lead to extra opportunity for Chandon Sullivan and Kris Boyd.

Dantzler (ankle/personal) is questionable for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Giants, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Dantzler hasn't practiced all week and is dealing with a serious personal matter, per head coach Kevin O'Connell. The extent of the situation remains unclear, but it appears Minnesota may be without a key part of its secondary against the Giants on Sunday.
