Running back Zavier Scott joins Chicago Bears practice squad after Vikings release

The Minnesota Vikings parted ways with running back Zavier Scott following the conclusion of their preseason roster evaluations. After failing to clear waivers and re-sign with Minnesota, Scott joined the practice squad of the Chicago Bears. The move follows a competitive roster battle between Scott and rookie Demond Claiborne, who secured a spot on the Vikings' active roster. Minnesota opted to keep three running backs on the active roster but currently holds no depth at the position on their practice squad. Team personnel acknowledged the thin depth at running back, noting that the team would need to look to external options should injuries impact their primary rotation of Aaron Jones Jr. and Jordan Mason.
