One preseason game is in the books, so it's a good time to take stock of the Vikings' roster.
With the Vikings' first preseason game in the books — not to mention a dozen training camp practices — and just under two weeks left until cutdown day on August 27, it's a good time for an updated 53-man roster projection. Let's dive right in.
Until further notice, I'm still putting the rookie on the roster. If McCarthy winds up on season-ending IR, the Vikings could keep Darnold and Mullens as their two quarterbacks and use Hall as the emergency QB3 off the practice squad, opening up an extra roster spot at another position. Jones has flashed in camp as an undrafted rookie, but he's still a practice squad guy for now. Thomas and maybe one other cut will likely join Jones on the PS.After watching Tonyan practice in the spring and hearing offensive coordinator Wes Phillips sing his praises, I thought he might have a chance to surpass Mundt as the Vikings' pass-catching tight end in Hockenson's absence. That hasn't happened. Mundt has taken all of the reps with the starters and played well.
Teams never want to waive fourth-round picks ahead of their second seasons, but Williams and Rodriguez have simply been more impressive throughout training camp than Roy. They've both mixed in with the starters in the recent absence of Tillery, who should be back soon after needing stitches on a laceration to his leg.Out: Jihad Ward, Owen Porter , Andre Carter II
