Vikings Get Cuts Rolling by Saying Goodbye to a Newcomer at Corner
At no point did Tre Hawkins III appear to be somebody who was going to challenge for a spot on […]
Minnesota Vikings announced roster cuts, releasing former New York Giants cornerback Tre Hawkins III, according to KPRC2's Aaron Wilson. The move comes as a result of the team's decision to trim the 53-man roster ahead of the deadline. Hawkins, a 26-year-old defensive back, was drafted 209th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. Standing at 6'3" and weighing 195 pounds, he will likely continue to attract attention from defensive coordinators due to his height.
Despite being added to the roster to replace Dwight "Nudie" McGlothern, Hawkins appears to have had little opportunity to prove himself, having missed significant time due to training camp and preseason activities. The Vikings plan to reduce the number of cornerbacks on the roster to four or five, with Byron Murphy Jr., Isaiah Rodgers, James Pierre, and Chuck Demmings expected to secure their spots.
