Sean Mannion’s services were no longer needed.
The veteran climbed as high as QB2 in his Minnesota reunion, but that was during a different set of circumstances. The Vikings’ QB room is looking very different. With Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall returning to health, Mannion became expendable.
The team officially released him from the practice squad, a move that was necessitated by Justin Jefferson reclaiming a spot on the 53-man roster and thus needing somewhere to put N’Keal Harry (who has since been signed to the practice squad).
