Vikings drop quarterback Nate Stanley a week before training camp

The Vikings waived quarterback Nate Stanley on Tuesday, creating an opening on their 90-man roster a week before the team reports for training camp.

Stanley, a seventh-round draft pick in 2020 out of Iowa, spent his rookie season on the practice squad. He was waived and placed on injured reserve last August with a back injury, missing all of the 2021 season.

The Vikings' first full-team practice of new head coach Kevin O'Connell's first training camp is scheduled for July 27. The team currently has three quarterbacks on its roster: Kirk Cousins, Sean Mannion and Kellen Mond, a third-round draft pick in 2021.
