What are the roster options they'll have with Jakobe Thomas come cut-down time?

They're certainly not going to just release him...

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

HE is dealing with back soreness. Not surprised they are taking it slow.

Hopefully he gets healthy and can show what made him a good prospect.

One option would be season ending IR.

Another would be keep him on the 53 man for the cut down and then send him to IR designated to return. That’s tricky because there’s a limit as to how many times you can do that.

Not a great situation.

Man, I hope not a season-ender.

But backs can be tricky as hell to come back from too...

At least they have a couple more weeks to see how/if it progresses.

They can linger for sure. I am hopeful that he is grasping the defense and what Flores wants to do. Thomas has a lot of talent for sure. Hope IR isn't the answer for him.
