Who made it? Here is the Vikings' first 53-man roster

S Josh Metellus, S Camryn Bynum, S Harrison Smith, S Theo Jackson, CB Byron Murphy Jr., CB Shaq Griffin, CB Stephon Gilmore, CB Fabian Moreau, CB Akayleb Evans, CB/S. Jay Ward, CB Dwight McGlothern

Injury list (out for the rest of the season): CB Mekhi Blackmon (ACL), CB NaJee Thompson (knee)

Released: S Lewis Cine, S Bobby McCain, CB Duke Shelley, CB Jaylin Williams, CB AJ Green III, CB Jacobi Francis, CB Nahshon Wright

The Vikings released Cine, the 2022 first-round pick, after just 10 games in two seasons. Four new cornerbacks – Gilmore, Griffin, Moreau and McGlothern – will help reshape the secondary as coordinator Brian Flores looks to employ more man coverage. McGlothern is the second undrafted rookie to make the first roster, along with Taimani. Don't underestimate Jackson, who continues to fill multiple roles on defense. He's the next man up, if not a part-time player, for Flores.
