The Minnesota Vikings agreed Tuesday to terms on a contract with former first-round cornerback Jeff Okudah.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed by the Vikings, however ESPN reported that agent Kevin Conner, the CEO of Universal Sports and Management, said it was a one-year contract. No financial terms were disclosed.

Okudah, 26, is returning to the NFC North, where he started his career with the Detroit Lions, who selected him No. 3 overall in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Due to multiple injuries, he appeared in just 25 games (22 starts) over three seasons in Detroit. He followed that tenure with one year with the Atlanta Falcons (13 games, nine starts) and one with the Houston Texans (six games, no starts).

Over his career, Okudah has two interceptions for 56 yards and a touchdown, as well as 177 tackles and 14 passes defensed.

Also on Tuesday, the Vikings agreed to terms on a contract with wide receiver Tim Jones, who primarily played on special teams for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Jones, 26, had three catches for 41 yards while appearing in all 17 games (no starts) last season with the Jaguars.

He has 17 receptions for 154 yards in 51 career games (three starts) since joining Jacksonville after going undrafted out of Southern Mississippi.
