Today is the deadline and we are tracking all the moves the Vikings are making as they get their roster down to 53 players.
The decisions will come quickly, with the deadline on Sunday, Aug. 30, at 6 p.m. EST. The team may work its way down to 53, whether by releasing players or trading them. Either option works for the Vikings and Nolan Teasley as he looks to get the roster in the best shape possible heading into the 2026 season.
With the stage set ahead of final roster decisions, here are the players who remain on the roster as we update it live.
