The Vikings informed Leidner that he has been released, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Case Keenum was always the likely candidate to back up Sam Bradford at quarterback, so Leidner was competing with Taylor Heinicke for third on the depth chart if the team opted to carry three quarterbacks on its final roster. It is unclear what the Vikings will do, but Leidner will not be a part of their plans regardless. It is unclear if he will land on their practice squad or not.
