In only four days the Vikings roster will be cut down from 88 players to 53. By 3pm (CST) on Saturday the regular season squad, along with a 10-man practice squad, will be assembled. The team began trimming the fat on Tuesday, releasing cornerback Bene Benwikere and wide receiver Jordan Taylor.

Welcome to the Minnesota Vikings Training Camp Diary! Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about the Vikings’ training camp practice on August 2 in an easy-to-read bullet form.

The Minnesota Vikings made four transactions in the day leading up to training camp. They waived running back Roc Thomas and added guard Tiano Pupungatoa, then waived safety Micah Abernathy and acquired running back De’Angelo Henderson.

To get caught up on who’s all on the team, let’s take a look at the current players that comprise the roster. To make things a little more interesting, I’ve noted which players will become free agents following the season and also added my 53-man projection. The Vikings will trim down the roster to 53 players on August 31st (3pm CST deadline).

Minnesota has a dynamic duo of safeties in Harrison Smith and Anthony Harris. But, the battle is on between Marcus Epps and Jayron Kearse for the backup role. Epps has only been with the Vikings for a few weeks, but he’s already making an impression at OTAs, even earning reps with the first-team defense. Could Epps steal the job from a veteran like Kearse?
