When Warren and I put together our 53-man roster projections for the Minnesota Vikings (you can see Warren’s here and mine here), one of the names that we both had locked into place was defensive lineman T.Y. McGill. . .and why wouldn’t we? He led the NFL in sacks this preseason and was all over the field in the first two preseason games before missing the third with an ankle injury.
Apparently Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O’Connell see things differently than we do.
Adam Schefter of ESPN was the first to announce that the Vikings will be releasing McGill despite his seemingly outstanding performance in the preseason.
