The first full-squad practice of Vikings training camp is scheduled for five weeks from today. But we are already ready to declare which 53 men will make the final roster heading into the regular season opener.
OK, not really. By my count, there are 27 players I feel certain will be on the team this season and another dozen or so who are pretty close to locks in my opinion. The rest of the roster spots will be decided down in Mankato and in the team’s four preseason games.
But, because spring workouts are done and (thankfully) there is nothing newsy to write about (because it’s usually not good this time of year), I figured I would give you guys an early Vikings roster projection.
