Stanley, a seventh-round draft pick in 2020 out of Iowa, spent his rookie season on the practice squad. He was waived and placed on injured reserve last August with a back injury, missing all of the 2021 season.
The Vikings' first full-team practice of new head coach Kevin O'Connell's first training camp is scheduled for July 27. The team currently has three quarterbacks on its roster: Kirk Cousins, Sean Mannion and Kellen Mond, a third-round draft pick in 2021.
Training camp opens next Tuesday when veteran players must report, according to the collective bargaining agreement. The first session open to the public is Saturday, July 30.
Mike Conley was in Minneapolis, where he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game, on Sunday during the robbery.
