The Vikings announced Saturday that they have signed linebacker Quentin Poling while waiving running back Tony Brooks-James.
By releasing Brooks-James, who appeared in three games for the Steelers last season, the Vikings have four running backs on the roster: Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison, Mike Boone and Ameer Abdullah.
It’s worth noting the Vikings also have fullbacks C.J. Ham and Jake Bargas on the roster. Ham is expected to win the job after signing an extension this offseason.
Will the Vikings keep all four running backs on their roster or trim it down to three? Last season, the Vikings entered the season with four running backs active.
If the Vikings were to cut a player, it would probably be Abdullah considering Boone’s late season emergence in 2019.
However, with Cook’s injury history (Cook has missed 19 games in his first three seasons), it might be a safe move to keep four running backs on the roster.
