Former Wisconsin Badgers QB Joel Stave may have taken one more step toward making the Vikings roster after presumptive #3 Taylor Heinicke reported to training camp in Mankato with a cast on his leg.
Mike Zimmer was expected to give more information on Heinicke’s injury during press availability late Thursday. It’s not believed the injury is season-ending.
The Vikings will reportedly release their PUP list Friday morning and it’s a good bet Heinicke will be on it.
Before news of Heinicke’s injury, there was some thought the second-year QB out of Old Dominion might push veteran Shaun Hill for the #2 QB job.
