The Vikings released an updated depth chart for the regular season, which has Jasper Brinkley and Robert Blanton as the starting middle linebacker and strong safety.

Here's a complete look at the Vikings regular season depth chart.

The Vikings also signed undrafted rookie free agent guard Austin Wentworth to the practice squad. They released cornerback Kendall James to make room for Wentworth, who was waived on Sunday. James was selected in the seventh round in this year's draft and the only drafted rookie not on the roster.
