The Vikings also reportedly will/have cut LB Brandon Watts, meaning 2015 7th round draft pick Edmond Robinson appears to have made the team.
Mauti made a final case for himself Thursday night by blocking a punt and then making the recovery, but that play by itself evidently wasn’t enough to sway things in his favor.
