The Vikings began releasing players Tuesday morning ahead of the 3 p.m. deadline to set an initial 53-man roster. Here's a running list of players who have been informed they'll be let go, according to league sources. Some may return Wednesday when the Vikings can form a 16-man practice squad; up to six players can have over two years of experience. First, players without four years of experience are subject to being claimed by another team on waivers.
