Re: 2016 Vikings Training Camp
Brandon Fusco will likely be held out during tonight's scrimmage, per Mike Zimmer
A few other #Vikings will be held out tonight, per Zimmer. Patterson (shoulder) and McKinnon (back) have been held back.

Re: 2016 Vikings Training Camp
The reasons why I am not worried about Treadwell..just a little worried about treadwell's drops? how do you teach a receiver to learn how to catch a football in the nfl? this offense won't improve one bit this year and bridgewater will be out. then, after we get a real qb, we can focus on a championship.
1.Micheal Irvin and Chris Carter both rave about him; In fact, Irvin said Treadwell had more natural ability than he did coming out of college.
Irvin is about the most egotistical wide out to play the game. For Irvin to say that about Treadwell means he must have some great skills.
2. Treadwell played against some of the best athletes in college and even hurt performed very well and consistently.
Teddy Bridgewater is for real. I got so much grief in this room about Patterson. For years, I was calling him out of his attitude
and lack of worth effort(which he admitted to this off season BTW) Bridge water has does nothing, but win in this league and
does exactly what coaches Turner and Zimmer, are asking him to do. I am not saying Bridgewater is a HOF player, but with our
total crap OL and the coaches asking him to protect the ball the last two seasons. Not to mention Rudolf and company dropping
wide open balls in the end zone last season. I wouldn't be surprised if Teddy does not have ten more touchdowns this season.
no one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Re: 2016 Vikings Training Camp
Saw Kendricks pull up lame with what looked like a hamstring... Then he slammed his helmet down... Then went off the field with the trainer... Looked scary...

Re: 2016 Vikings Training Camp
Teddy takeaways: 1) better velocity 2) very good deep balls 3) excellent intermediate passes 4) red zone needs more work.

Just saw Kendricks walking through after practice. Wasn't limping or anything.

Re: 2016 Vikings Training Camp
Does anyone have any idea of how to stream the preseason games online? I use to buy the preseason package for $30 and you could watch every game but now all I see is Game pass which is $100 and I don't really want to spend that. Does anyone have a good site to stream these preseason games. I love watching them and seeing what we have for depth

I wish. Just a summation of what I've been reading all week from the beat guys, reinforced by the scrimmage.PurpleMustReign wrote: Were you there?

Re: 2016 Vikings Training Camp
injury report
Sharrif Floyd, Brandon Fusco, Edmond Robinson, Cordarrelle Patterson (shoulder) and Zach Line all missed practice. All of the players who missed practice have unknown injuries, aside from Patterson. Rhett Ellison (patellar tendon), Taylor Heinicke (ankle), and Mike Harris (illness) also missed the evening practice with their respective injuries.
I guess we will see who else is not participating in practice on Monday.
