Vikings 53-man roster projection: Who will make the final cut?
Receiver Jalen Reagor, left, and running back DeWayne McBride are on the roster bubble as cutdown day approaches.Now that the preseason is done, the Vikings begin a 72-hour period that coach Kevin O'Connell called "the toughest part of this job."
They will cut from 90 players to 53 by 3 p.m. on Tuesday, when teams are required to set their initial regular-season roster. Their toughest decisions may be on defense, where they'll have to pick between a number of players who had strong camps but lack regular-season experience. Here is a projection of how the Vikings' 53-man roster will look.
Quarterbacks (3)
In: Kirk Cousins, Nick Mullens, Jaren Hall
Released: Jordan Ta'amu
