Vikings Cut Scott, Keep Claiborne | Minnesota Vikings News

Claiborne edged out Scott for the roster spot with more rushing yards, though at a lower yardage per carry. The decision comes as a shock to some, especially since Scott contributed on special teams and Aaron Jones praised Claiborne as a special talent. Scott may still have a shot to return via waivers, but with running back depth in high demand, his future remains uncertain.
