Training camp is officially here, so the Vikings roster will start taking shape in the coming weeks. Who are the ones guaranteed to make the cut?
Right now the roster consists of 90 players and it has to be trimmed down to 53 by the end of camp before Week 1 against the New York Giants. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O’Connell have their work cut out for them as they weave their way through a roster that not many hold in high regard in terms of wins and losses.
Despite that, this is a young roster. It is not quite a rebuild but rather a re-tool. Here are 35 Vikings players we expect to make the roster guaranteed heading into the matchup with the Giants at the end of camp.
