Minnesota Vikings: Final 53-man roster projection for the 2018 season

After four preseason games, who stood out the most for the Minnesota Vikings and earned a spot on the team’s regular season roster?

It’s that time of year again where the Minnesota Vikings have to figure out which players give them the best chance for success in the regular season.

But unlike previous years where the Vikings had two separate cut-down days during the preseason, Minnesota has to make one big trim on Saturday to decrease the amount of players on their roster from 90 to 53.

The Vikings have until 4 p.m. ET on Saturday to decide who will be wearing their uniform during the 2018 regular season.

Minnesota likely already knows what their starting lineup is going look like for this year, so figuring out which players will make up their depth for 2018 is what the team will be doing this weekend. As they have learned in the recent past, who the Vikings select as their backups can have a tremendous impact on the team’s success during the regular season.

When Minnesota does eventually decide which players will be making their final 2018 roster on Saturday, they will also be saying goodbye to some pretty talented guys. The Vikings will be hoping to add a number of their cuts to this year’s practice squad, but some of them might be too talented to not get picked up by other teams.

So who will be the 53 players that make up Minnesota’s final roster for the 2018 season?
