The Vikings managed injuries to several key defensive players in 2015, yet still managed to win the NFC North.
Given the benefit of rest, interior defensive linemen Linval Joseph and Sharrif Floyd and linebacker Anthony Barr were back fully in the mix Friday on the team’s first day of training camp.
It’s still another day before pads go on, but Andrew Krammer of the Star Tribune wrote “the Vikings defense that took the field Friday may have been better than last year’s division-title winner.”
Linval Joseph, Sharrif Floyd, Harrison Smith and Anthony Barr were together.
