Vikings veteran defensive back Terence Newman could get comfortable at the safety position.
The 37-year-old started at safety in last Thursday’s 23-20 loss to Arizona and might be called upon in this role moving forward if regular starting safeties Harrison Smith (hamstring/knee) and Andrew Sendejo (knee) miss more time.
However, with Newman’s age arguably becoming a factor, a shift to full-time safety could be a long-term option. After being thrown into the position because of injuries last week, it seems making the change would be easy.
Newman is the oldest player on the Vikings’ roster and one of the oldest in the NFL.
