MANKATO, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings will get their second off day of training camp on Sunday, and it's possible the opportunity to get players two consecutive days off led the team to rest several of its presumptive starters during Saturday night's practice.
That would certainly be better than the alternative as the Vikings head into their first game week of the preseason. In any case, the Vikings found themselves a little shorthanded during drills between their top units on Saturday night.
Sharrif Floyd, Brandon Fusco, Cordarrelle Patterson and Zach Line were among the players who did not participate in the Vikings' lone evening practice of camp.
