Even during training camp, an NFL roster is a very fluid thing. For the 2024 Minnesota Vikings, it’s the secondary that’s been the primary area for change. Mostly due to loss and injuries, the Vikings have added the following defensive backs and linebacker since the start of training camp:
Duke Shelley, CB
Jacobi Francis, CB
Fabian Moreau, CB
Bobby McCain, S
Jabril Cox, LB
A safety last year, second-year Jay Ward has been working at corner. Perhaps it’s training camp experimentation. Perhaps it’s a true position change. Especially with the addition of Bobby McCain, the Vikings have very good depth at safety. Ward played some corner at LSU. Why not take advantage of a position of strength and help a position in need.
The added defensive backs was done so at the expense of the following players:
John Parker Romo, K
K.J. Cloyd, LB
Abraham Beauplan, LB
Many talking heads and pundits continue to speculate that the Vikings aren’t done at adding cornerbacks. Until those possible additions, here’s the team’s current roster.
