Vikings waive LS Austin Cutting and LB Hardy Nickerson

After a couple of weeks of carrying a pair of long snappers, the Minnesota Vikings finally made a decision on Tuesday.

The team has announced that they have waived long snapper Austin Cutting, but reportedly want to sign him back to the practice squad to keep him in their program and give him an opportunity to compete for the job next season.

Cutting was the Vikings’ final pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of the Air Force Academy, and had a fairly successful rookie season. . .I think, anyway, as far as long snappers go.
