Rick Dennison is no longer the offensive line coach for the Minnesota Vikings after he refused to take the COVID-19 vaccine, something that is currently mandatory for all NFL coaches.
Players haven’t even arrived for this summer’s training camp and the Minnesota Vikings have already made a significant change to their coaching staff.
After refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, the Vikings will reportedly move on from offensive line coach Rick Dennison according to ESPN’s Courtney Cronin on Friday.
Minnesota didn’t really have any other choice since Dennison is classified as a Tier 1 staff member and every coach or staff member that falls into this tier is required by the NFL to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
