Who’s in? Who’s out? What could the Vikings’ final 53 in 2018 look like?
By Chris Schad
Thursday’s preseason game against the Tennessee Titans will be the final chance for some current Minnesota Vikings to make the 53-man roster.
The fourth game of the NFL preseason is where fans show the least enthusiasm. After being gradually teased with more and more of their starters in action, the fourth game is where teams usually rest their starters to take a good look to the bottom half of the roster.
A majority of those who root for the Minnesota Vikings will likely greet the team’s final preseason game of 2018 with a lack of excitement. But the players competing for one of the final spots on the Vikings’ regular season roster will have nerves flying when the team travels to take on the Tennessee Titans on Thursday evening.
The game may not be sexy to watch on television, but important decisions will be made soon after the clock hits zero. There won’t really be much concern about the result of Minnesota’s matchup on Thursday. Instead, the focus will be on finding out which players will make enough of an impression to crack the final roster.
As the Vikings head into Thursday’s final preseason game, how is their 2018 roster shaping up? Which players have already locked up spots and whose chance of making the cut is still up in the air?
