"A day after waiving Donovan McNabb, the Vikings have found themselves a familiar replacement to fill out their depth chart at quarterback. This afternoon, the team's waiver claim for Sage Rosenfels was processed. Just like that, they again have themselves a fill-in to handle scout team snaps for the rest of the season.

Rosenfels was waived by the Dolphins on Thursday. He had been signed by Miami in early October but was placed on their reserve/non-football injury list as he continued recovering from a blood infection he had contracted while dealing with strep throat during training camp with the Giants late in the summer.

Now, he will return to Minnesota, where he was a third-stringer behind Brett Favre and Tarvaris Jackson during the 2009 season. The Vikings traded for Rosenfels early in '09. They sent a fourth-round pick to Houston, intending to hold a competition for the starting quarterback between Rosenfels and Jackson. Then, the Vikings landed Favre and Rosenfels quickly found himself as the No. 3 signal caller."
