Here's the Vikings' initial 53-man roster for the 2023 season

In: Kirk Cousins, Nick Mullens, Jaren Hall

Released: Jordan Ta'amu

The Vikings retained three quarterbacks for the first time since 2018 due in part to a new NFL rule allowing a third passer exemption on game days as long as that quarterback is on the active roster. Hall can suit up for games and not count toward the Vikings' 48-player limit on Sundays, which must include eight offensive linemen.

Running backs (4)

In: Alexander Mattison, C.J. Ham, Ty Chandler, Kene Nwangwu

Released: DeWayne McBride, Abram Smith, Aaron Dykes

This position is thin and perhaps subject to most change.
