The waiver claims are starting to roll in after today’s 11:00 AM Central deadline, and the team was not awarded any players during the waiver process, while two of the players they waived yesterday were claimed by other teams.
One former Viking got claimed by the team with the highest waiver priority, as linebacker Dorian Mausi was picked up by the Tennessee Titans. The other player was defensive back Reddy Steward, who was claimed by the Dallas Cowboys.
This means that all of the other players who were waived by the Vikings ahead of Tuesday’s 53-man roster deadline have cleared waivers and can come back to the practice squad for the Vikings if they should choose to bring them back.
Once again, it’s important to point out that the fact that the Vikings were not awarded any players on waivers does not mean that they didn’t put in any claims. They are down in the bottom part of the waiver priority list, so they could have put claims in on numerous players only to have those claims overridden by teams ahead of them on the list.
With the waiver process complete, all 32 NFL teams can start constructing their practice squads, and we’re tracking any potential signings for the Vikings on our Practice Squad Tracker.
