EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings on Tuesday released their first unofficial depth chart of 2024, days before hosting the Las Vegas Raiders to open the preseason.
The contest between the Vikings and Raiders is scheduled for 3 p.m. (CT) Saturday at U.S. Bank Stadium. FOX 9 KMSP and KFAN 100.3-FM will simulcast the game. NFL Network also will air the game live on national cable television.
The Vikings offense is listed in 21 personnel with two backs (a running back and fullback) and a tight end for the third consecutive season. That leaves two spots at receiver, along with a quarterback and the offensive line.
The Vikings defense is listed in a 3-4 base defense for the third consecutive season. There are three defensive linemen, two outside linebackers, two inside linebackers, two cornerbacks and two safeties.
Here's a look at the players in order as they appear on the Vikings unofficial depth chart.
