Vikings Make 14 Roster Cuts Before Deadline

The Minnesota Vikings have begun finalizing their roster by cutting 14 players ahead of the NFL's deadline to reduce to 53 players by 3 p.m. CT Tuesday. Notable cuts include quarterback Matt Corral and running back DeWayne McBride, both of whom were seen as longshots to make the team. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's recent signings, including running back Mo Ibrahim, were also released shortly after joining the team. Many of the players cut were undrafted rookies or recent signings meant for depth during preseason. The Vikings still have 24 more roster decisions to make as they prepare for their season opener against the New York Giants on September 8. The team is expected to evaluate potential trades for players like linebacker Brian Asamoah before finalizing their roster.
