Vikings cut WR Rogers

Last update: June 2, 2009 - 7:25 AM

The Vikings cut receiver Roderick Rogers on Monday, a day after completing their three-day mandatory minicamp, leaving 84 players on the roster. They will resume practice as part of nonmandatory organized team activities today at Winter Park. Unlike the first OTAs two weeks ago when coach Brad Childress invited rookies, newcomers and selected veterans, this time he invited every player.
