Ahead of the Vikings joint practices alongside the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday and Thursday, the team conducted a walk-through practice on Tuesday.

An interesting report from Alec Lewis of The Athletic arose during this practice, suggesting that another rookie defender is seeing plenty of snaps with the Vikings first-team defense.

That Vikings rookie defender is defensive lineman Jaquelin Roy. He was selected in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft after Minnesota traded back up into the round with the Indianapolis Colts.
