The Minnesota Vikings have waived cornerback Akayleb Evans, marking another disappointment for their 2022 draft class. After starting 15 games last season, Evans has struggled to find his place this year, primarily serving on special teams due to the addition of veterans Stephon Gilmore and Shaquill Griffin.

This move comes as the Vikings activate tight end Nick Muse from injured reserve, necessitating a roster spot. Notably, other draft picks from 2022, including Lewis Cine and Andrew Booth, have also faced challenges this season.
