The initial 53-man rosters for each team are set. Once cutdown day happens, there are upwards of 1,200 players that are released looking for a new team. Some of those players will make the practice squad with 16 spots for each team while others will find their way onto the 53-man roster for another team.
The Minnesota Vikings are in a position where they will be adding to the 53-man roster. They only have eight offensive linemen, five defensive linemen and four traditional cornerbacks with NaJee Thompson being a special teams ace.
