With the preseason over, the Minnesota Vikings have to get down to a 53-man roster. In efforts to get closer to that number they released their first wide receiver today. It was not one of their rookies either. The first one to go was Moritz Böhringer from Germany.
Source said the Vikings waived Moritz Böhringer.

Böhringer was drafted by the Vikings in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL draft. He was the first player ever drafted from Europe without playing college football first.
