The final Vikings’ injury report of the week was released on Friday and it included a surprise transaction for the NFC’s sixth seed. But first, a bit of negative news…
While the Vikings are in the midst of closing out the regular season, the salary cap specialists over at Spotrac are peeking ahead to the offseason. They recently published an article naming a contract extension candidate and roster bubble candidate for each NFL team.
The Minnesota Vikings took care of business at home against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, winning 20-7. Heading into the game there were questions of how the defense would perform, but Mike Zimmer’s squad quelled many of those concerns by nearly shutting out the Lions, holding Detroit to 231 yards of total offense just one game after allowing a season-high 444 to Seattle.
Every week of the NFL season feels like the most important week of the season. This is the truth of being a fan of any NFL team, and especially of a team that is not cruising to an easy division title. This compounds when your team is in the middle of their “window” to win a championship.
Vikings CB Holton Hill is set to return to the Vikings after serving back to back four game suspensions. What does it mean? Let’s chat.

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. Now, a few days into training camp, the team roster sits at an offseason maximum 90 players. To get caught up on who’s all on the team, let’s take a look at the current players that comprise the roster.

The Vikings will trim down the roster to 53 players on August 31st (3pm CST deadline).
