Vikings place former Badger on PUP List

Part two of roster cuts came on Tuesday as the Minnesota Vikings needed to trim the roster down to 80 players by the 4 pm eastern deadline.

The Vikings began those moves on Tuesday by waiving former fifth-round draft pick Harrison Hand and former Denver Broncos TE Shaun Beyer per The Star Tribune’s Ben Goessling.

Those moves continued on Tuesday when they placed LB Ryan Connelly on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list.

Connelly tore his ACL last December in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers covering the opening kickoff. The fourth-year linebacker out of the University of Wisconsin was acquired via waivers from the New York Giants in September of 2020.

Being place on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list means that Connelly will miss at least the first four games, a rule change from previous seasons where players had to sit our for six games.
