MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings will reintroduce joint practices next month in Cincinnati, when they spend two days working out against the Bengals before their preseason opener on Aug. 12. It's difficult to imagine anything in those practices being as entertaining as what former Vikings receiver Nate Burleson recently recalled.
Brock Lesnar was in Vikings camp in 2004, nearly making the team's roster as a defensive end after his career in the WWE. And Lesnar, who returned to UFC over the weekend, provided Burleson with an indelible memory.
"He came out and somebody cheap-shotted Daunte Culpepper late," Burleson said on NFL Network, recalling a joint practice with the Kansas City Chiefs.
