If Twyman clears waivers, he will revert to Minnesota’s NFI reserve list.
Twyman was shot four times in an incident earlier this offseason where his agent says he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He’s still recovering from two of the gunshot wounds.
Twyman, 21, was selected with the No. 199 overall pick in the sixth round by the Vikings. He agreed to a four-year, $3.7 million contract with the Vikings.
During his college career at Pitt, Twyman recorded 57 tackles, 11 sacks, and two pass deflections over the course of 21 games.
