EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. —The Vikings on Thursday announced that the club has signed former Jaguars and Packers running back DuJuan Harris.

Harris also returned 22 kicks a total of 456 yards (20.7 per return) last season.

He started two of the four games he played at the end of that season, rushing 34 times for 157 yards and two touchdowns and caught two passes for 17 yards. That postseason, Harris started both of Green Bay's playoff games and rushed 28 times for 100 yards and two touchdowns and caught seven passes for 64 yards.
