German wide receiver Moritz Bohringer will be back for another run with the Vikings.

Bohringer, taken in the sixth round of last year’s draft before being waived and spending the the season on the practice squad, was among nine players off the squad to sign future deals Monday.

The move means Bohringer will be part of the team’s spring program and presumably will start training camp in July with the Vikings.

The Loop Fantasy Football Report: Week 2 Other practice-squad players signing contracts were offensive tackles Marquis Lucas and Austin Shepherd, defensive tackle Sterling Bailey, tight end Kyle Carter, receiver Cayleb Jones, running back Bishop Sankey, cornerback Tre Roberson and safety Cedric Thompson, a former University of Minnesota player.

Bohringer, who played semipro ball in Germany before joining the Vikings, believes he made strides as a rookie.

“Just overall as a player, improving everything, especially catching, running routes,” he said. “I want to build on the experience I gained throughout the year.”

Bohringer said he mostly will remain in Minnesota to train before spring workouts begin in April. He said he “definitely” hopes to be on the 53-man roster next season.

The Vikings had the full allotment of 10 players on the practice squad until receiver Isaac Fruechte was signed to the active roster Saturday. The former University of Minnesota player from Caledonia, Minn., made his NFL debut in Sunday’s 38-10 season-ending victory over Chicago, being in for five snaps on offense and 11 on special teams.

“It was a lot of fun,” said Fruechte, who was targeted once and didn’t catch a pass. “I appreciate the opportunity. I hope I can springboard off of that.”
