Competition for the Vikings kicker job is "very close" heading into the preseason debut in Denver on Saturday, according to special teams coordinator Mike Priefer.
Veteran Kai Forbath and rookie Daniel Carlson are both expected to kick against the Broncos, which will help decide which kicker to keep for the regular season. They're both 12 of 14 on field goal attempts during training camp, Priefer said.
"Kickoffs, as you'd expect, Daniel is a little bit stronger," Priefer said. "Kai would have to use his finesse in figuring out where to place the ball. It's very close right now.
