Minnesota waived Stevenson (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Stevenson was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Vikings back in April, and he'll return to Minnesota's IR list provided he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period. It's not clear what type of injury he's dealing with, but his departure should create more opportunities at nose tackle for T.J. Smith and T.Y. McGill.
