FOX 9 Sports Now: Vikings roster cuts, who stays and who goes?

The Minnesota Vikings have to cut their roster from 80 to 53 on Tuesday. Jim Rich and Pete Bercich break down what decisions they have to make.

MINNEAPOLIS - The preseason is over for the Minnesota Vikings, and next up is Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 11 at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Vikings will host their biggest rivals for Kevin O’Connell’s regular season debut as a head coach. But first, the team has to cut the roster from 80 to 53 on Tuesday. There are already some wrinkles, with Bisi Johnson suffering a torn ACL for the second straight season, and punter Jordan Berry being released in favor of Ryan Wright.
