It’s roster-trimming time across the NFL. All teams have to reach the 53 player roster limit by 1pm PT today. The Minnesota Vikings started the roster trimming yesterday. It started with a trade. The Vikings traded second-year offensive tackle Vederian Lowe to the New England Patriots for a 2024 sixth-round pick. This was a surprise as it appeared that Lowe had emerged as perhaps the team’s top backup tackle. Now, he’s in New England and the Vikings have Oli Udoh and Blake Brandel as tackle depth.
After the trade of Lowe, the Vikings released 17 players.

That brings the Vikings roster to 73 players. 20 more players must be trimmed to reach the 53-man roster limit. It’s a rough day. As many as 16 of those players could be added to the practice squad.
