According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Minnesota Vikings released former Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman C.J. Hanson on November 10, just a day after their Week 9 loss to the Buffalo Bills on 'Monday Night Football.'
Hanson started his career as a seventh-round pick of the Chiefs in the 2024 NFL Draft after an illustrious collegiate career with the Holy Cross Crusaders.
After he was waived by Kansas City on August 30, Hanson signed with Minnesota on November 5.
Wilson noted that Hanson was among three players released by the Vikings after their move to reunite with veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins at the 2026 NFL trade deadline:

During his two-year
tenure with the Chiefs, Hanson saw action in four games, logging a total of 44 snaps played between Kansas City's offense and special teams unit.
Chiefs fans would be wise to keep their eyes on Hanson's availability if Kansas City's offensive line continues to struggle during its Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
