Vikings release cornerback Dwight McGlothern Jr and sign Tre Hawkins III

The Minnesota Vikings released cornerback Dwight McGlothern Jr and signed Tre Hawkins III ahead of the preseason finale. McGlothern, who made the roster the last two years, faced increased competition after the addition of James Pierre. Hawkins, previously with the New York Giants and Washington, has seen limited action in his career. The roster shuffling is expected to continue as the Vikings aim to strengthen their defensive lineup under coordinator Brian Flores.
