The Minnesota Vikings have announced that they’ve trimmed their roster down to 85 players.
Per the team’s website, Minnesota has opted to cut Amari Henderson (CB), Blake Proehl (WR), Riley Patterson (K), Turner Bernard (LS), and Jordan Brailford (DE). It’s always unfortunate when players fail to make the final roster; none of the moves are particularly surprising, though. Patterson had a shot to be the Vikings kicker, but he has battled injury throughout training camp. Proehl showed promise. A recent knee injury, though, will keep him out for the season.
Unless the Minnesota Vikings make a surprise signing, Greg Joseph will be the purple kicker in 2021.
