A Few Thoughts on the Roster:
First of all, the injured reserve designations of C.J. Ham and Tyler Batty are a curiosity. The Vikings website says that they are designated to return on Tuesday. That might not be correct. The players might be out for the first four weeks of the season.
Perhaps the greatest curiosity of the initial 53-man roster is the presence of seven undrafted rookies.
Max Brosmer
Myles Price
Ben Yurosek
Joe Huber
Elijah Williams
Chaz Chambliss
Austin Keys
The number bumps to eight if Tyler Batty (IR) is included.
At the start of training camp, offensive tackle Logan Brown and cornerback Zemaiah Vaughn may have been the undrafted free agents most expected to make the roster. Neither made it but seven others did. The Vikings continue to do remarkable work in the undrafted market.
Speaking of rookies, four of the Vikings five draft picks made the initial roster.
Donovan Jackson
Tai Felton
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Kobe King
The fifth, Gavin Bartholomew, is on injured reserve.
Other thoughts:
-Keeping four running backs is a surprise. Ty Chandler’s hold on a roster spot might not be strong one.
-Joe Huber’s performance forced the Vikings to keep 10 offensive linemen.
-I would expect an outside receiver to be added to the roster as early as today.
-With only four cornerbacks on the initial roster, I also expect a corner signing. Or trade.
