We have officially made it to the toughest part of the year for NFL players, coaches, and front office people. Teams have to begin the process of formulating their final rosters in accordance with NFL deadlines, and that means that rosters will have to be trimmed from 90 to 53 by 3:00 PM Central on Tuesday, 29 August. We’re going to do our best to keep track of the cuts as they happen and make sure you’re up to date on what’s going on with the Minnesota Vikings as these things happen.
Here is the 90-man roster for the Vikings as things stand right now. We will add stories to this as we’re able to and/or as we see news come across social media. As always, this roster is based on where the Vikings’ official roster page has players listed.
