## Resource

The Vikings’ final roster battles are heating up — where the drama lives isn’t with the starters, but with the guys fighting for those last spots that can define careers. At running back, rookie Demond Claiborne looks poised to edge out Zavier Scott, while fullback Max Bredeson adds depth. Tight end T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver are locks, but Ben Yurosek edges out Gavin Bartholomew for the final spot. On the offensive line, Walter Rouse and Michael Jurgens face stiff competition for dwindling spots. Linebacker Jamal Adams brings veteran versatility, potentially sidelining Jacob Roberts, while Ivan Pace Jr. could carve out a specialist role. At safety, Harrison Smith’s return could force Theo Jackson and Tavierre Thomas into a brutal battle — or both out. And at punter, rookie Brett Thorson is poised to outshine veteran Johnny Hekker.
