Before the Minnesota Vikings host the Arizona Cardinals for two joint practices on Wednesday and Thursday, they are doing a walkthrough on Tuesday afternoon.
According to a report from The Athletic’s Alec Lewis, fifth-round pick DT Jaquelin Roy was getting snaps with the first-team defensive line.
This is an important development with how the Vikings will construct their 53-man roster. With the defensive line being up in the air, seeing Roy get reps with the first team is a good thing, especially since he didn’t play in the first two preseason games.
Roy is likely a 5T on base downs with the ability to play nose tackle on passing downs. With his lack of participation in the preseason, this is a good sign for his chances to make the 53-man roster.
