Vikings 90 Man Roster

The Minnesota Vikings finished the Mankato portion of training camp yesterday. They are on to Cincinnati. The Vikings will be holding joint practices with the Bengals in Cincinnati today and tomorrow. The two teams will be sick of each other by the time play their preseason opener on Friday.

The Vikings made a few roster moves over the course of the first week of training camp. It sure would be nice if they would stop doing that and let one of these 90-man rosters stick for more than a handful of days. Linebacker Josh Wittingham was signed, had a cup of coffee, and was released. All in that first week. Terrance Plummer was re-signed to replace him. Plummer was on and off and on the Vikings practcice squad last season. Cornerback Keith Baxter never made it to the field last week and was replaced on the roster by running back Kevin Monangai. The addition of another running back likely had more to do with Adrian Peterson and Jerick McKinnon missing practice time than a real need at the position.

There was also some uniform roulette in recent days. Tackle Andre Smith grabbed #71 after long-time #71 Phil Loadholt retired. Defensive tackle Kenrick Ellis grabbed the #72 that came available when Smith grabbed #71. That meant that newbie offensive lineman Sean Hickey had to change his number again. He's now wearing the #66 that Ellis was wearing.
