Now that the Minnesota Vikings have completed two preseason games and their joint practices with the Browns, there is just one preseason game and just over a week for players to make an impression on the coaching staff and hopefully secure a roster spot. But for 37 players on the 90-man roster, the end of the month will be the end of the line for their future with the Vikings, except the dozen or so that agree to join the practice squad after clearing waivers.
Offense (25)
The Vikings normally keep twenty-five on offense, as do most teams, splitting the 50-man roster between offense and defense with three more specialists beyond that.
