Akayleb Evans Cut By Vikings

Minnesota Vikings defensive back Akayleb Evans has been waived by the organization on Saturday. This seems like a bit of an odd move considering Evans was a full-time starter last season. He finished with 65 tackles, three fumbles forced, and one interception in 15 games with the Vikings in 2023. Since then, Evans has mainly been playing on special teams this season and has only two tackles in seven games. The former fourth-round pick will look to catch on elsewhere. There should be another organization willing to give the 25-year-old a chance to earn a spot on a roster.
