The Story in 60 Seconds

The Minnesota Vikings have officially released wide receiver Trayvon Rudolph from their practice squad ahead of Week 3. Rudolph, an undrafted rookie who played collegiately at Northern Illinois and Toledo, never appeared in a regular-season game for Minnesota after initially joining the team in June.
