EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Stand-up comedy isn’t encouraged on the Vikings practice field, but when Jerick McKinnon is mic’d up for a session, a few laughs are guaranteed to be sprinkled into the work the team is doing during organized team activities.
McKinnon was wired Thursday when the Vikings participated in their third of 10 scheduled practices, providing up-close interactions with teammates, who joked that McKinnon was “The Feds.”
During a special teams drill, 5-foot-9, 205-pound McKinnon ran into a wall named Jeremiah Sirles, a tackle who is 6-6 and 315.
