With the Minnesota Vikings signing wide receiver Albert Wilson on Tuesday, the team needed to make a corresponding move to keep their roster at 90 players, and that move just came down minutes ago.
Per numerous sources, the Vikings have waived running back A.J. Rose Jr. to make room for Wilson on the 90-man roster.
Rose was one of the stars of the 2021 preseason for the Vikings, leading the Vikings in rushing and putting up a 100-yard performance in the preseason opener against the Denver Broncos. He was one of the last cuts coming out of Training Camp and was signed to the practice squad, where he spent most of the season.
