EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings on Monday announced they have traded cornerback Mekhi Blackmon to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The deal is subject to Blackmon passing a physical.
Blackmon joined Minnesota as a third-round pick (102nd overall) in 2023.
He appeared in 15 games as a rookie and made three starts, recording 41 tackles, three for loss and an interception. Blackmon suffered a season-ending ACL injury at the start of the 2024 Vikings Training Camp.
The move comes as NFL teams are reducing their rosters to 53 players by 3 p.m. (CT) Tuesday, Aug. 26.
