EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The Vikings have expressed a desire to improve their run defense this preseason.
The Vikings allowed 4.5 yards per carry in four exhibition games after allowing 4.3 per carry in the 2015 season.
Minnesota has been without middle linebacker Eric Kendricks, who led the Vikings with 105 tackles as a rookie.
The second-year linebacker missed the entire preseason but is poised to slide back into his starting spot in the middle on Sunday at Tennessee for what could be a physical contest.
“I’ve been practicing hard and going over the film the same way I always do,” Kendricks said Wednesday.
