The Minnesota Vikings have trimmed their roster from 90 to 53 players as they get ready for the start of the regular season. The team has made a few cuts and kept a number of players on the roster. For quarterbacks, Kyler Murray, Carson Wentz, J.J. McCarthy, and Max Brosmer were all cut. Notably, Will Levis was also waived. Running back Aaron Jones and fullback Jordan Mason were among those cut, with Zavier Scott and Jermar Jefferson being the two remaining.
The tight end position saw cuts for Marshall Lang and Bryson Nesbit, with Matt Lauter being the sole survivor. The wide receiver roster now consists of Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings, Tai Felton, Myles Price, and Dillon Bell. Jeshaun Jones was suspended for performance-enhancing drug use and is expected to be released soon.
On the offensive line, Michael Jurgens will return from IR, with another free agent or waived player potentially joining the roster. The defensive interior line saw cuts for Isaiahh Loudermilk, Jahvaree Ritzie Smith, Vilbert Jonathan Harris, and the decision to keep Elijah Williams.
