On the same day in which the Minnesota Vikings made a move to maintain the depth on their defensive line through the 2018 season, the team also made the decision on Friday to waive defensive lineman Scott Crichton.
Crichton was selected in the third-round of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Oregon State. The 6-foot-3, 273 pound defensive lineman missed the entire 2016 season after being placed on injured reserve before Minnesota’s first game of the year.
Since 2014, Crichton has played in 21 games for the Vikings and has a total of seven tackles in his career.
