Zavier Scott, RB (MIN)

Waived by Minnesota

Home  >  News

Scott was waived by the Vikings on Sunday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Scott spent most of his rookie season as the third option on the team's running back depth chart behind Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason. Those two veterans remain in Minnesota, but it looks like rookie fifth-round pick Demond Claiborne has usurped Scott's role as a depth option in Minnesota. The Vikings may be interested in retaining Scott on the practice squad if he passes through waivers unclaimed.
