Vikings minicamp observations: Terence Newman gets reps at safety

One of the Vikings’ undisclosed injuries this spring has continued to keep safety Andrew Sendejo sidelined. Primarily rotating in his place have been Anthony Harris and Jayron Kearse, until Tuesday.

The NFL’s eldest defensive back, Terence Newman, showed off his ability to play any position in the Vikings secondary when he took reps alongside safety Harrison Smith during the start of a three-day mandatory minicamp in Eagan.

Newman, who turns 40 in September, stepped in at safety during one 11-on-11 session with the starting base defense. So the Vikings continue to sort through their options at safety with Sendejo unable to practice this spring.
