EAGAN, Minn. — Rookies, quarterbacks and select veterans hit the practice field again Wednesday afternoon at Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center.
The group of 37 total players, who practiced for roughly 90 minutes, will hold their final practice with the reduced roster on Thursday morning. Vikings veterans will report to the team facility Thursday afternoon.
The first full-team practice (and first open to fans) set for Friday afternoon at 2 p.m.
Here are three observations from Wednesday’s session:
1. Mitchell making good impression
Dillon Mitchell is in the mix for a spot among Minnesota’s wide receiver group on the 53-man roster, and the rookie has impressed in the early stages of camp.
The former seventh-round pick made a sliding catch Tuesday, and then made a nice adjustment on a pass Wednesday as he stopped on a dime to haul in a pass behind him.
Mitchell, who led the Pac-12 and set an Oregon single-season record with 1,184 receiving yards in 2018, capped off his nice day with another sweet catch near the sideline as he smoothly caught the pass while keeping both feet in bounds.
He and rookie tight end Brandon Dillon were also a part of a double-take photo.
