Minnesota Vikings 91-Man Roster

The Minnesota Vikings are a day away from Preseason Game #1. The team hosts the Houston Texans tomorrow. Since the start of training camp, the Vikings roster has mostly maintained consistency. That’s a good thing as injuries are often the reason for transactions in July and August. There has been a splash of injuries roster but most are fortunately of the day-to-day variety. While Justin Jefferson dealing with a balky hamstring has garnered headlines, an offseason back injury to rookie Gavin Bartholomew is the most concerning long-term health issue. The sixth-round tight end’s injury has forced the Vikings to make a few roster tweaks with the tight end position. Giovanni Ricci was signed in June. Nine-year veteran Nick Vannett was signed earlier this week. A couple non-tight ends have been added to the roster since the start of training camp. Veteran offensive lineman Matt Nelson and safety Gervarrius Owens have been signed to supplement their respective positions. 

In advance of tomorrow’s big game against the Houston Texans, here’s an updated look at the 91-man roster of the Minnesota Vikings.
