In their final preseason game of 2018, the Minnesota Vikings are on the road to face off against the Tennessee Titans on Thursday night.
When the Minnesota Vikings take on the Tennessee Titans on Thursday in their preseason finale, it will be the very last time for some guys in a purple and gold uniform. After Thursday’s game, the Vikings will have to cut down their roster from 90 players to 53 by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Minnesota likely already has an idea of who they are going to keep for the regular season, but their preseason matchup against the Titans will give some of the bubble players one last shot to impress the Vikings.
A couple of guys to keep an eye on for Minnesota on Thursday are running backs Mike Boone and Roc Thomas, wide receivers Brandon Zylstra and Chad Beebe, quarterback Kyle Sloter, defensive lineman Ifeadi Odenigbo, and cornerback Holton Hill. All of these players will be taking the field in Tennessee with their jobs in 2018 likely depending on their performance.
Don’t expect to see any of the Vikings’ starters out there on Thursday though, as the fourth preseason game is normally the time for second and third-string players to battle for the last few roster spots.
When Minnesota finally does take the field against the Titans, what are some of the big moments that the staff here at The Viking Age predict will happen?
