With a resistance band strapped around his waist and a brace on his left knee, Vikings cornerback Mike Hughes backpedaled through ongoing physical rehabilitation during Tuesday’s practice.
That’s where Hughes will remain until the Vikings wrap their offseason program June 13.
Hughes, more than seven months removed from ACL surgery, hasn’t practiced with the team and won’t until at least training camp in late July, according to coach Mike Zimmer. The 2018 first-round pick underwent surgery Oct. 23 after his rookie season was cut short in the sixth game.
Mackensie Alexander has taken the lead this spring at slot cornerback, where he split reps with Hughes at the start of last season.
