Report: Vikings to waive German WR Boehringer

The Minnesota Vikings are set to waive Moritz Boehringer, the German receiver whom they selected in the sixth round of this year's draft, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Boehringer is reportedly a strong candidate for the Vikings' practice squad.

The 22-year-old was the first player drafted to the NFL straight from Europe.

Due to his raw skill set and lack of experience playing football, he'd likely benefit from a season on the practice squad.
