The Vikings released their unofficial Week 1 depth chart on Wednesday, resulting in some clear-cut winners and losers heading into the season opener.

Ty Benefield is projected to land with the Vikings in a new mock draft.

That said, the Packers were 9-3-1 and in first place in the NFC North entering Week 15 before losing their final four regular-season games after star pass rusher Micah Parsons suffered a torn ACL. The slide continued in the postseason when Green Bay squandered a 21-3 halftime lead and lost 31-27 to Chicago in the Wild Card round.

The Packers' Week 1 matchup with the Vikings will be broadcast on CBS on Sunday afternoon. Here's the TV map.

Sports Illustrated's Justin Melo recently released the latest 2027 NFL mock draft of the cycle, which has the team going with a new defensive addition in one of the top safeties, Tae Johnson. Sadly, the Notre Dame defender was hurt in Week 1 and will be out for some time.

The Vikings added to their pass-rushing depth by signing Jihad Ward to the practice squad on Wednesday. Here's what his return to Minnesota could mean.

The NFL recently disallowed the Minnesota Vikings from signing Kenny Dyson to the practice squad due to the injury settlement rules. Minnesota placed Dyson on injured reserve and reached an injury settlement with him last week.
