Nothing about this Minnesota Vikings season has gone as hoped. John Wolford being the third quarterback on the team’s depth chart is proof of that. John Wolford! It appears fun for local and national pundits to rage about the Vikings quarterback situation but that’s simply a lazy take. It’s always about the quarterback. If a team has offensive issues, it’s always the quarterback. There’s no doubt that the quarterback play has been lousy but it’s an offense-wide issue. How can an offense perform at its best when no one knows who is playing on the offensive line from game-to-game. Hell, for the Vikings this season there’s been offensive line uncertainty from play-to-play. Much of the preseason optimism was due to the rebuilt offensive line. The five starters have yet to play an entire game together. The frustrations this season are fast approaching the sad heights of the 2010 season.
Anyway, the Vikings host the Washington Commanders this Sunday. When the schedule came out in the spring, this game was probably circled by many as one with significant playoff implications. Instead, the two teams enter the game with a combined seven wins. In advance of the big game, here’s a look at the Minnesota Vikings current 53-man roster. John Wolford!
This current roster has 54 players. Cornerback Dwight McGlothern and quarterback John Wolford were elevated from the practice squad to the active roster in advance of last week’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. One of those players, at least one of those players, has probably gone back to the practice squad. John Wolford!
