EAGAN, Minn. — Verizon Vikings Training Camp is off and running.
The team held its first practice of the summer Tuesday afternoon at Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center, as 37 rookies, quarterbacks and select veterans went for roughly 90 minutes on a sunny afternoon.
Minnesota’s veterans report Thursday, with the first full-team practice (and first open to fans) set for Friday afternoon at 2 p.m.
Here are three observations from Tuesday’s session:
1. Mixing it up
All four of the Vikings quarterbacks on the roster are currently already in camp, including starter Kirk Cousins.
The quartet split snaps Tuesday, as Cousins worked in a few plays with rookie center Garrett Bradbury in team and individual drills.
Sean Mannion had the first crack in team drills, while Kyle Sloter and Jake Browning rotated in during a 7-on-7 situation.
Earlier Tuesday, Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman said he is looking forward to observing the competition behind Cousins.
“We’ve been impressed with [Sean] Mannion and [Kyle] Sloter and [Jake] Browning, that will be a fun competition to watch when we get going,” Spielman said.
