With the Vikings draft and most of the (likely) free agency moves completed, let’s take a look at how the Vikings roster may shake out after the last cuts before the regular season begins.
Quarterback (2)
Kirk Cousins, Kellen Mond.
No surprises here. Mond takes over the backup role from Sean Mannion.
Between Nate Stanley and Jake Browning, one will make the practice squad, the other will be cut.
Running Back / Fullback (5)
RB: Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison, Kene Nwangwu
FB: CJ Ham, Jake Bargas
I’m projecting that Ameer Abdullah is cut, as he loses his returner spot and isn’t as valuable on special teams otherwise.
