Crichton (undisclosed) was waived by the Bills with a failed physical designation on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Crichton was claimed by the Bills on Monday after being released by the Vikings last week. It's unclear what injury he's dealing with, but he could struggle to sign with any team until he's recovered. The former third-round pick has yet to record a sack in his 21 regular-season appearances.

Crichton (undisclosed) was claimed off waivers by the Bills on Monday, ESPN's Field Yates reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crichton was recently let go by the Vikings and is yet to record a sack in 21 regular-season appearances since being selected in the 2014 third round, but his signing could boost Buffalo's options along the defensive front this season.

Crichton (undisclosed) was released by the Vikings on Friday, the Star Tribune's Matt Vensel reports.

EDGE Analysis

A 2014 third-round selection, Crichton has yet to record a sack in 21 regular-season appearances. He was waived with an injury designation at the end of last preseason, and then placed on injured reserve upon clearing waivers. The 25-year-old will merely be hoping for another chance to compete for a roster spot.

Chrichton (undisclosed) was placed on the Vikings Injured Reserve list on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Crichton was waived with an injury designation on Tuesday, and has since cleared waivers. His placement on IR means the former third-round pick will be shut down for the season.

Crichton was waived/injured by Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Crichton struggled with an undisclosed injury during training camp. However, the 2014 third-round pick may not have made the final roster even if healthy.

Crichton did not participate in the Vikings' combined practice with the Bengals on Wednesday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

While coach Mike Zimmer indicated that he didn't want to bring any injured players along with the team, he didn't suggest that any of the injuries were serious. Most of Crichton's action came on special teams in 2015 and he'll likely reprise that role this season.

Crichton could be used at defensive tackle and defensive end this season in a backup role, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crichton may be used at defensive tackle in pass rush situations. Crichton played eight games last year as a rookie and had two tackles. While his bench role will be small, there's a chance the 2014 third-round pick could improve dramatically in his second season.

Vikings signed third-round DE Scott Crichton to a four-year contract. Mike Zimmer was unsatisfied with Minnesota's in-place pass rush after taking the Vikings' coaching job. The Vikes have since re-signed Everson Griffen, inked Corey Wootton, used a top-ten pick on Anthony Barr, and added Crichton in the top 75. Crichton projects as a Charles Johnson-type player capable of playing end in base packages and rushing from the inside in nickel and dime.
