On Tuesday, as veteran players reported to Vikings training camp, head coach Kevin O’Connell took the podium to discuss some the recent news regarding the team.
One topic of discussion involved the ongoing contract situation regarding edge-rusher Danielle Hunter. O’Connell announced during the presser that the three-time Pro Bowler has, in fact, reported to camp on Tuesday. However, he is not expected to be a full participant in practice, particularly early on.
This is commonly known as a “hold in”, and it is different from the typical “hold out” because, rather than being away from the team facilities entirely, Hunter is showing up to practice every day.
