The Vikings on Monday reached an injury settlement with quarterback Taylor Heinicke, likely ending his time this season with the team.

Heinicke, recovering from a mild concussion and a strained right oblique muscle, was released off injured reserve. While the Vikings have moved on by signing quarterback Kyle Sloter to the practice squad, there still exists a chance Heinicke could return to the team this season if there are unforeseen circumstances.

A source said Heinicke, who had a base salary of $615,000, will get multiple weeks of salary for this season. Since he was due to make $36,176, he’ll get at least $72,352. He is eligible to re-sign with the Vikings three weeks after his settlement ends, which would be at some period in October.

It is unlikely Heinicke would return after the Vikings signed Sloter on Sept. 4 to a practice-squad deal worth $20,000 a week, nearly three times the squad minimum. Sloter is their third quarterback in practices after starter Sam Bradford and backup Case Keenum.

Heinicke was on the 53-man roster as a rookie in 2015, but didn’t get into any games. He missed much of last season after shortly before training camp he put his foot threw a window, tearing a tendon, while trying to get in after being locked out of an apartment.
