For a second consecutive year, the Vikings will play the Seahawks in the preseason and regular season.
The NFL released preseason matchups on Tuesday afternoon with specific dates and times to be announced. The Vikings will open the exhibition slate at New Orleans against a Saints team that signed three of their free agents this spring in running back Latavius Murray, punt returner Marcus Sherels and guard Nick Easton.
Minnesota is scheduled to host the Seahawks and Cardinals in the second and third preseason games. The matchup against Arizona is the penultimate exhibition used by coaches as a tune-up game for the regular season.
