Adjusted Minnesota Vikings Roster. Again.

An NFL roster is a fluid thing. Even during the season there are tweaks. The Minnesota Vikings made one of those tweaks this week. Offensive lineman Aviante Collins suffered an elbow injury in a practice in advance of the Week 1 game against the San Francisco 49ers. His season is over as he was moved to the injured reserve list. That move boosted the Vikings injured reserve to 12 players. That's a ridiculous number for this early in the season. Collins was replaced by former Kansas City Chiefs guard Bryan Witzmann on the roster.
