Vikings Waive CB Dwight McGlothern to Open Roster Spot for Ryan Kelly

The move clears a roster spot for center Ryan Kelly's expected return from injured reserve.

Overview

  • Minnesota announced the waiver on November 20, releasing the second-year cornerback before Week 12 at Green Bay.
  • Reporting from The Athletic indicates the transaction was to activate Ryan Kelly, who was a full participant in practice this week.
  • The 53-man roster now lists only Byron Murphy Jr., Isaiah Rodgers and Fabian Moreau at cornerback, with Jeff Okudah still on injured reserve.
  • Dwight McGlothern, an undrafted 2024 signee from Arkansas, has appeared in eight games this season with 31 defensive snaps and 16 on special teams.
  • Observers note the Vikings could re-sign McGlothern to the practice squad if he clears waivers as the 4-6 team weighs further moves.
