The Vikings begin training camp next week, and it appears unlikely offensive line coach Rick Dennison will be on the field with players.
The team is in discussions with Dennison about the COVID-19 protocols, according to a statement released Friday in response to an ESPN report that said Dennison stepped down from the job amid his refusal to get vaccinated. That had not happened as of Friday afternoon, according to a league source.
Even if Dennison were to get vaccinated soon, the process can take up to six weeks to be fully inoculated, meaning he could not participate in training camp with players.
