Minnesota Vikings waive OLB Luiji Vilain, OG Alan Ali

The Vikings continue to trim the roster down

The Minnesota Vikings have continued to make roster moves. According to The Athletic’s Alec Lewis, the Vikings have waived outside linebacker Luiji Vilain and offensive lineman Alan Ali.

The Vikings made it a priority to keep their draft picks last season and Vilain was one of only two players to make the team as an undrafted free agent. Vilain was essentially redshirted last season and only played in three games during the 2022 season.

Ali came to the Vikings after playing five seasons at SMU and TCU. He came with a multitude of experience at center with some at guard. The Vikings primarily used him at guard over the course of the preseason, but he struggled throughout.

The Vikings will continue to make moves to get down to the 53-man roster limit.
