Stocker was signed to the active roster Thursday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stocker has been back and forth between the practice squad and active roster over the past few weeks. He appeared in the Vikings' Week 6 contest against Carolina playing 10 snaps on offense and in Week 8 against Dallas playing 16 offensive snaps. He has totaled one target and one reception for seven yards. With Ben Ellefson (foot/knee) placed on IR a week ago, it's likely Stocker will file in behind Tyler Conklin and Chris Herndon on the Vikings' tight end depth chart against the Ravens on Sunday.

The Titans cut Stocker on Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stocker was signed by the Titans this offseason to provide some depth in the Titans' tight end room after Jonnu Smith left for New England. The 33-year-old isn't much of a pass-catching threat, but he may draw interest elsewhere as a blocking tight end.

Stocker signed a contract with the Titans on Saturday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stocker will add depth to a Titans tight end room that's now headlined by Anthony Firkser in the aftermath of Jonnu Smith's departure. The 33-year-old Stocker has never caught more than 16 passes in a season, and that career-high total came way back in 2012, so his biggest impact will likely come in a blocking role if he's able to make the team.

Stocker secured his only target for 13 yards during Sunday's 44-27 loss to Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Taking on his former team of seven years, Stocker made his fourth reception of the regular season's final three weeks. He tallied 43 yards with those passing-game opportunities against the Buccaneers, Chiefs and Buccaneers again, after totaling just three catches for 20 yards over his first 13 outings of the year. The veteran tight end is set to become an unrestricted free agent in March, but Atlanta could elect to bring him back as proven blocking reinforcement at the position.
