Vikings waive WR Trishton Jackson

Jackson was in a battle for the final wide receiver spots

The Minnesota Vikings have continued to make roster moves. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Vikings have waived wide receiver Trishton Jackson.

The wide receiver room was a very competitive one in training camp this year. Justin Jefferson, K.J. Osborn and Jordan Addison were all guaranteed to make the roster but after that it was a real battle.

Jackson was fighting for a roster spot with Jalen Reagor, Brandon Powell, Jalen Nailor and Lucky Jackson. It was a hard-fought battle and Jackson is a likely practice squad candidate.

Jackson suffered a minor injury during training camp and missed a short amount of time and it hindered his preseason production. He caught three passes for 29 yards.

Like last season, the Vikings could be targeting Jackson for the practice squad.
