Minnesota Vikings 53 - Man Roster

After two weeks, the Minnesota Vikings made significant tweaks to the roster. They signed guard Dalton Risner on Monday. They traded for Cam Akers on Wednesday. Risner projects to be a starter as soon as he’s ready. Seeking a starter in free agency after only two weeks is significant. Trading for an additional running back after only two weeks is significant. Both additions were made to bolster a seriously underwhelming run game. The additions brought unfortunate subtractions as offensive tackle Oli Udoh and receiver Jalen Nailor were placed on injured reserve. Udoh is out for the season. Hopefully, Nailor will only be sidelined for four weeks. Here’s the updated roster.
