Minnesota Vikings 53-man roster prediction after 2023 minicamp
By Adam Carlson
It may be early, but it's never too soon to speculate on the 53-man roster of the Minnesota Vikings.
Although the 2023 NFL season feels like it is still a long time away, it is approaching much faster than we realize. That means that teams like the Minnesota Vikings will need to be ready to make some tough roster decisions.
The purple and gold have brought in a lot of young talent to compete for roster spots but that means many of the young prospects could be on the outside looking in or left to develop on the practice squad or looking for a new team to latch onto.
The exact date when rosters must be trimmed to 53 players has not yet been revealed but it is expected to be sometime in August since the Vikings' first preseason game is on Aug. 10 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Let's take a look at how that 53-man roster could shake out for the Minnesota Vikings this season and anticipate who will make enough of a positive impression to earn a role on the team heading into the regular season.
