Here are three observations from Friday’s session:
1. Buxton takes in practice
In mid-May, Stefon Diggs and a handful of teammates took part in ‘SKOL Night’ at Target Field, where the Vikings wide receiver met Byron Buxton and gave him a No. 14 jersey.
The Twins outfielder returned the favor Friday, visiting Diggs’ digs at training camp while wearing the Purple jersey he received three months ago.
Buxton, who is currently on the Injured List, took in the majority of Friday’s practice and hung out with a handful of players, including Diggs and Adam Thielen, after the session.
Buxton is one of a handful of local sports figures to have stopped by training camp this summer, as Wild coach Bruce Boudreau, Timberwolves coach Ryan Saunders, Twins pitcher Jake Odorizzi, Gophers football coach P.J. Fleck and Gophers women’s hockey coach Brad Frost all made an appearance in Eagan.
