Vikings planning to waive quarterback Kellen Mond in roster cuts

The Vikings will waive second-year quarterback Kellen Mond on Tuesday, according to a league source.

Mond, the 2021 third-round pick, is among the Vikings' cuts as they set the initial 53-man roster, which must be done by Tuesday afternoon. The backup quarterback competition never really got off the ground as neither Sean Mannion nor Mond played consistently enough to prevent the front office from acquiring quarterback Nick Mullens from the Raiders last week.

Mond's inconsistent accuracy and decision-making marred his performance in three preseason games, in which he completed 29 of 51 passes (56.9%) for 303 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
