Minnesota Vikings 53-Man Roster Projection With Shocking Moves

Vikings Final 53-Man Roster Projection: QB Shakeup, Bubble Battles, and Key Cuts — Tyler Forness and producer Dave break down Tyler’s projected Minnesota Vikings 53-man roster after Saturday’s game. He keeps 24 on offense, 26 on defense, and three specialists, with two spots likely filled by players not currently on the roster. At quarterback, Tyler projects Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz making the roster while J.J. McCarthy is moved and Max Brosmer heads to the practice squad. They discuss possible trade scenarios and cap implications. On offense, he projects four running backs (Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason, Demond Claiborne, Max Bredeson), five wide receivers (Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings, Tai Felton, Myles Price), three tight ends (T.J. Hockenson, Josh Oliver, Gavin Bartholomew), and a thin offensive line with Caleb Tiernan as an IR candidate. Defensively, Tyler outlines DL/EDGE needs and predicts a veteran edge addition. He keeps five linebackers, with Ivan Pace Jr. as a possible trade candidate, highlights UDFA cornerback Da’Veawn Armstead, and projects Theo Jackson off the safety group. Specialists are Will Reichard, Andrew DePaola, and Johnny Hekker, with Brett Thorson targeted for the practice squad.
