The clock is ticking. There's just one week remaining for the Vikings' roster hopefuls to make their cases before all NFL teams must set an initial 53-man roster by Tuesday, Aug. 29.
The Vikings' youth movement has led to more tossups at position battles like cornerback, receiver, linebacker and defensive line. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O'Connell have to curate the collective inexperience into NFL-worthy (and much-needed) depth. That may also include adding castoffs from other NFL teams. But for now, here's a projection of 53 current players.
Quarterbacks (2)
Kirk Cousins, Nick Mullens
Released: Jaren Hall, Jordan Ta'amu
Hall, the fifth-round pick from BYU, hasn't exactly commanded a spot on the 53-man roster.
