Minnesota Vikings prepare final roster cuts following preseason conclusion

The Minnesota Vikings have begun the process of trimming their roster from 91 players down to the league-mandated 53 for the 2026 regular season. This transition follows the conclusion of the team's final preseason game, which marked the end of the evaluation period for coaching staff and front office personnel. The franchise must now evaluate every position group to finalize its squad before the official roster deadline. Similar to the other 31 NFL teams currently managing their own roster requirements, the Vikings are navigating these personnel decisions to establish their primary depth chart. The front office will continue to make releases and adjustments until the team reaches the required 53-man limit.
