The #Vikings have waived LB Keli Lawson and waived/non-football injury WR Luke Wysong. RB Kejon Owens has been placed Via @Vikings on X

What happened: Wysong's exit carries a non-football injury designation, while Owens remains active under a non-football illness designation. All three joined Minnesota after going undrafted in 2026.

Why it matters: The moves narrow the competition at linebacker and wide receiver before camp practices begin. Owens remains on the roster while his availability is determined.

By the numbers: Minnesota's moves affect three undrafted rookies across three positions: linebacker, wide receiver and running back.

What to watch: Minnesota's first public camp practice is scheduled for Aug. 1. Owens' roster status is the next development to track.
