Reported injury context (Aug 26, 2026): “Tim started several games last year when we had some injuries on defense,” Vikings coach Alex Page said. Status: source-reported-injury-context.
The 5-foot-10, 175-pound Hughes runs a 4.5-second 40-yard dash, benches 205 pounds and squats 350 pounds. He recorded seven pass breakups in limited playing time in 2025. “Tim started several games last year when we had some injuries on defense,” Vikings coach Alex Page said. “He was moved from wide receiver to corner last year early in the season. He has progressed to becoming a very technical corner, and he is not afraid to defeat blocks and tackle. Tim is a consistent presence in the defensive backs room and has taken ownership in getting better each day. We are expecting him to defend the opposing team’s best receivers and be a force on the perimeter.”
