Now that the Vikings initial 53-man roster has been announced, along with the ten practice squad spots, let’s take a closer look at the results of the Vikings’ off-season, training camp, and pre-season work.
Very Little Change Among Starters
Clearly the most immediate observation of the Vikings roster from last year to this year is that among starters, there is very little change.
On defense, only defensive tackle Shamar Stephen will be a new starter this year, and on offense only Josh Kline and Garrett Bradbury will be new starters, along with RB2 or WR3.
