Vikings weigh roster changes amid 5-0 start

The 5-0 Minnesota Vikings are using their bye week and the approaching November 10 trade deadline to assess roster needs, despite a defense and special teams that have helped offset an underperforming offense. Injuries and limited production have raised concerns at wide receiver, running back, tight end and along the offensive line, while the team is also considering whether to add experience to its defense. Potential moves discussed include pursuing veterans such as edge rusher Khalil Mack or an offensive lineman, though any acquisition would need to balance immediate improvement against future flexibility. General manager Nolan Teasley has said Minnesota intends to participate actively in trade discussions, and the team could also consider moves to build draft capital. Longer term, the Vikings face decisions on internal free agents, including quarterback Kyler Murray, whose continued progress could influence whether the team tries to retain him.
