After officially signing veteran WR, Dede Westbrook, over the weekend, the Vikings were left with one too many players on their active roster. This has led to the team’s decision to put 2021 sixth-round pick, Jaylen Twyman, on waivers.
This move was expected as Twyman was shot four times in June. While his injuries aren’t considered serious, and Twyman is expected to make a full recovery, the Vikings have been expected to put him on the NFI list (reserve/non-football injury). In order to do that, Twyman first must clear waivers.
Going into the 2020 collegiate season, Twyman was viewed as one of the better DTs of the 2021 draft class.
