Vikings Make Final Cuts To Set 53-Man Roster

There weren't any big surprises yesterday when the Minnesota Vikings made their final  cuts, trimming the team to the NFL required 53 players by 5pm last evening. I've been keeping an eye on Joe Webb, hoping he'd make the team as a wide receiver. Here's the final roster.

One of the running backs will have to go when Jerome Felton returns from his three game suspension, with Zach Line the likely target.
