The Minnesota Vikings placed safety Michael Boulware on injured reserve Saturday to help trim their active roster to 53 players for the regular season.
Boulware was apparently hurt in Thursday's exhibition game. That leaves Eric Frampton and undrafted rookie Husain Abdullah as the backups at safety to Darren Sharper and rookie Tyrell Johnson. Madieu Williams has a neck injury and is out for perhaps another month.
Among the 20 players released Saturday were quarterback Brooks Bollinger, wide receiver Jaymar Johnson, and linebacker Rufus Alexander. Johnson was a sixth-round draft pick this year, and Alexander was a sixth-round draft pick last year.
Bollinger's departure means rookie John David Booty is the third quarterback behind Tarvaris Jackson and Gus Frerotte.
