Kevin O'Connell's first training camp as Vikings head coach won't take it to the limit.
O'Connell will be holding fewer padded practices than the 16 he is allotted by the NFL collective bargaining agreement. The team on Tuesday released its training camp schedule, which featured eight padded practices fans can attend for $5 for adults and free for children under 17; four non-padded practices free for everyone; and two "premier" practices.
Veteran players must report by Tuesday, July 26, according to the collective bargaining agreement, with the first session open to the public on Saturday, July 30.
