• Notes from the Vikings’ First Padded Practice

A few observations from Monday’s practice I made my way down to TCO Performance Center for the Minnesota Vikings’ first padded practice of the 2025 edition of training camp.

I’ll take a chronological approach to notes on the practice, starting with position drills and moving on to team drills later. Punt Spe...2025

• Vikings Roster Battles To Heat Up: Forness’ Bold 53-Man Projections

Christian Darrisaw reported to Vikings camp but wasn’t placed on the PUP list yet, unlike others. Forness speculates he might not have completed his physical, or he’s fully ready—leaning toward the former due to the team’s conservative injury approach. He could still end up on PUP/IR, missing at least four games; it’s a tidbit to monitor as camp begins. | Photo by Ric Tapia/Getty Images Ty...2025
