In somewhat surprising news on Saturday, the Minnesota Vikings have reportedly waived cornerback Akayleb Evans ahead of Sunday’s Week 12 road game against the Chicago Bears. Evans was a fourth-round pick in 2022, which was general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s first draft class. The team got few to no returns of this class overall, with safety Lewis Cine to Buffalo (Round 1, No. 32), corner Andrew Booth to Dallas (Round 2, No. 42), guard Ed Ingram heads to a reserve. role (2nd round, No. 59) and linebacker Brian Asamoah relegated to the special teams role (3rd round, No. 66).
