Scott Crichton: Released by Minnesota on Friday

Crichton (undisclosed) was released by the Vikings on Friday, the Star Tribune's Matt Vensel reports.

A 2014 third-round selection, Crichton has yet to record a sack in 21 regular-season appearances. He was waived with an injury designation at the end of last preseason, then got placed on injured reserve upon clearing waivers. The 25-year-old will merely be hoping for another chance to compete for a roster spot.
