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.

The Minnesota Vikings made four transactions in the day leading up to training camp.

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

The Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers face off Sunday night at U.S. Bank Stadium. On Friday, the final final injury reports of the week were released. Key players on each team are expected to miss Sunday night’s game. For the Vikings, four players were ruled out. Meanwhile, the Packers ruled out two starters with several others listed as questionable.
Running back Roc Thomas is back. A day after waiving him, the Minnesota Vikings signed Thomas back to the team’s practice squad. Thomas was let go after the Vikings claimed former Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah on Wednesday.
Storm Norton strikes again. The Minnesota Vikings have been shuffling around practice squad linemen since the Arizona Cardinals claimed Colby Gossett off the team’s practice squad last week. To replace Gossett, the Vikings signed Landon Turner to take his place.
The Vikings made a couple of roster moves prior to Sunday’s night game against the New Orleans Saints. Offensive tackle Storm Norton was promoted to the 53-man active roster and defensive tackle David Parry was waived.
