Vikings' Jaylen Twyman: Will begin offseason drills Monday
Twyman (pelvis) will begin offseason drills Monday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Twyman missed his entire rookie season on the non-football injury list while recovering from four gun-shot wounds suffered last June. The 2021 sixth-round pick opted out of the 2020 campaign while at Pittsburgh, but he totaled 10.5 sacks and 12.0 tackles for loss in 2019 and, if healthy, is expected to have an opportunity to carve out a sizable role along Minnesota's defensive front in 2022.

Jaylen Twyman: Waived by Vikings
The Vikings waived Twyman (pelvis) with a non-football injury designation Monday.
Minnesota is hoping that Twyman will clear waivers, in which case the team can stash him on the NFI list. The rookie sixth-round pick is recovering from four gunshot wounds that he suffered in June, but there's a chance he'll be able to play at some point this season.

Vikings' Jaylen Twyman: Could be available early on
Twyman (pelvis) is expected to begin training camp on the non-football injury list but is expected to be available early in the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Two of the 22-year-old's four gunshot wounds have fully healed, though the wound to his pelvis is apparently still bothersome. Twyman should be placed on the NFI list in the coming days, but he's expected to make a full recovery and may not be sidelined for long.

Vikings' Jaylen Twyman: Could play this season
Twyman (undisclosed) will report to training camp Sunday and still has a chance to suit up this season, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Twyman is reportedly making encouraging progress in his recovery from gunshot wounds suffered June 21. The rookie sixth-round pick was able to avoid surgery in his recovery process, and the Vikings reportedly expect him to return to 100 percent health. That said, Minnesota could opt to have Twyman begin camp on the non-football injury list.
