Vikings waive Joaquin Davis as roster competition heats up
Summary

The Minnesota Vikings waived receiver Joaquin Davis as they finalize their roster for the upcoming season. New GM Nolan Teasley made the decision to cut the undrafted sophomore to accommodate the signing of Michael Briscoe and Trayvon Rudolph. Despite his athletic profile, which includes impressive size and speed, Davis struggled with the technical aspects of the game. The Vikings are now assessing their remaining receivers, including Tai Felton and Myles Price, as training camp progresses. Davis’s release opens the door for another competitor to secure a spot on the team.
