Gaskin signed with the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday.
The running back started the regular season on the Vikings' 53-man roster, got released Oct. 29 and stuck around on Minnesota's practice squad until Dec. 3, when he was cut loose. Gaskin carried the ball three times for minus-1 yards and added an 11-yard reception over his five appearances for the Vikings.

Myles Gaskin: Signs with practice squad
Rotowire
Gaskin signed with the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday.
The running back was released by the team earlier in the day. Gaskin has been on and off the Minnesota practice squad throughout the regular season, and while he was signed to the active roster Oct. 8, he was a healthy scratch for the past two games. Gaskin has three carries for minus-one yard, one catch for 11 yards and no touchdowns in 2024.

Myles Gaskin: Let go by Minnesota
Rotowire
The Vikings released Gaskin on Tuesday.
Gaskin was signed from the Vikings' practice squad to the active roster Oct. 8, but he was a healthy scratch for each of Minnesota's last two regular-season games. He appeared in the first five games of the regular season, so while Gaskin could return to the Vikings' practice squad, he could explore his options and sign with a team in need of a running back with special teams experience.

Rotowire
Gaskin (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Rams.
Gaskin will be a healthy scratch for a second straight game as the Vikings roll with Aaron Jones, Ty Chandler and Cam Akers as the three backfield options for Thursday's game. Gaskin's next chance at suiting up will be Week 9 against the Colts on Nov. 3.

Vikings' Myles Gaskin: Inactive against Detroit
Rotowire
Gaskin (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against Detroit, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Gaskin has shuffled between the active roster and practice squad this season as the No. 3 running back. However, with the Vikings acquiring Cam Akers from the Texans on Tuesday and keeping him active for Week 7, Gaskin looks to have dropped to fourth on the depth chart.

Vikings' Myles Gaskin: Elevated ahead of Week 5
Rotowire
The Vikings elevated Gaskin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Gaskin was on the Vikings' active roster for the first four games of the regular season, but he was released Thursday to make room for tight end Robert Tonyan.

Myles Gaskin: Back with Minnesota
Rotowire
The Vikings signed Gaskin to the practice squad Thursday.
Gaskin was let go from the active roster earlier Thursday to make room for tight end Robert Tonyan, but the former will stick around on the practice squad. Gaskin had played sparingly over the first four regular-season games, as he was firmly behind Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler on the backfield depth chart. Over that span, Gaskin played 21 snaps (two on offense, 19 on special teams) and he turned his lone carry into minus-3 yards.

Myles Gaskin: Reverts to practice squad
Rotowire
Gaskin reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Gaskin played seven snaps Sunday (two on offense, five on special teams), and he lost three yards on his lone carry. Gaskin served as the No. 3 running back behind Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler, and he would likely reprise that role should he be elevated for Week 2 against the 49ers.

Myles Gaskin: Likely to be elevated before Week 1
Rotowire
Gaskin will likely be elevated to the game day roster from the practice squad before Week 1 to serve as Minnesota's kick returner, Will Ragatz of Sports Illustrated reports.
The Vikings released Gaskin on Tuesday, leaving only Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler in the backfield on the initial 53-man roster, but later signed him to the practice squad. It sounds like Gaskin will serve as the No. 3 RB but the kick return job could be in flux as the Vikings figure out the position with the new kick return rules. Both the No. 3 RB role and kickoff return job are open after the Vikings surprisingly released Kene Nwangwu.

Vikings' Myles Gaskin: Released by Minnesota
Rotowire
Gaskin was released by Minnesota, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Gaskin faced an uphill battle to win a roster spot as he was fourth on the depth chart at running back behind Aaron Jones, Ty Chandler and Kene Nwangwu. He was solid in the preseason (13 carries for 61 yards in Saturday's finale), so he could find work as a reserve elsewhere in the league or land on Minnesota's practice squad.

Vikings' Myles Gaskin: Has 45 yards rushing in preseason win
Rotowire
Gaskin had nine carries for 45 yards and two receptions for 10 yards in Saturday's preseason win over Cleveland.
Gaskin showed he can be a steady veteran as a reserve running back, but he may face an uphill battle to win a roster spot. The Vikings are likely to keep just three running backs with Kene Nwangwu currently ahead of Gaskin on the depth chart.

Vikings' Myles Gaskin: Staying in Minnesota
Rotowire
The Vikings signed Gaskin to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
Gaskin spent the majority of the year on Minnesota's practice squad, appearing in three games and failing to record a single stat in just 10 snaps. He'll look to compete for a depth role this offseason in a backfield that's seemingly open for the time being.

Myles Gaskin: Reverts to practice squad
Rotowire
Gaskin reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Myles Gaskin: Waived by Los Angeles
Rotowire
The Rams waived Gaskin Tuesday.
Signed off the Vikings' practice squad last month, Gaskin appeared in one game for the Rams, seeing just six special teams snaps. Kyren Williams (ankle) is eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 12, and the Rams are now on their bye. Darrell Henderson and Royce Freeman have handled backfield duties in Williams' absence.

Rams' Myles Gaskin: Inactive for Week 9
Rotowire
Gaskin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
After being signed off the Vikings' practice squad Week 7, Gaskin was inactive for the Rams' ensuing game against the Steelers, but he proceeded to suit up for last week's loss to the Cowboys. However, Gaskin's snaps were limited strictly to special teams in that game, and he'll be out of the mix entirely for Week 9 while the Rams keep rookie Zach Evans active as their No. 3 back behind Darrell Henderson and Royce Freeman.

Rams' Myles Gaskin: Catches on with Rams
Rotowire
The Rams signed Gaskin off the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
With Kyren Williams (ankle) and Ronnie Rivers (knee) both seemingly trending toward absences for Sunday's game against the Steelers, the Rams bolstered their running back room Tuesday with the signings of Gaskin and Royce Freeman, the latter of whom was promoted from Los Angeles' practice squad. Given that Freeman and the lone other healthy back on the 53-man roster -- rookie sixth-round pick Zach Evans -- have combined to play six snaps on offense over the five total games in which they've suited up this season, neither may be guaranteed work over Gaskin, despite being in the organization longer. Gaskin shouldn't require much time to get up to speed with the Rams' offensive concepts given his recent stint in Minnesota under head coach Kevin O'Connell, a disciple of the Sean McVay coaching tree.

Vikings' Myles Gaskin: Back on roster
Rotowire
Gaskin was signed to the Vikings' 53-man roster Tuesday, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Gaskin ended up on Minnesota's practice squad after being let go from the Dolphins, but he was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. However, the 26-year-old did not play a single snap in the game and was reverted to the practice squad Monday. Now, it appears the Washington product will remain a part of the active roster with his next chance to see the field being Thursday against the Eagles.

Myles Gaskin: Cut loose by Minnesota
Rotowire
The Vikings released Gaskin on Friday.
Gaskin lasted only 9-10 days with the Vikings after the Dolphins cut him at the end of the preseason. Minnesota is left with Alexander Mattison and Ty Chandler as the only RBs on the 53-man roster, making rookie DeWayne McBride a strong candidate to come up from the practice squad early in the season, if not for Week 1 against Tampa Bay. Meanwhile, Gaskin could get a shot elsewhere this fall if a team is looking for a veteran back with plenty of experience handling passing downs.
