With the start of Training Camp, it’s also time for teams to put players on the Physically Unable to Peform (PUP) and Non-Football lnjury (NFI) lists. The Minnesota Vikings are no different, placing two players on PUP before practices officially get underway.
The Vikings have announced that they have placed wide receiver Blake Proehl and linebacker Ryan Connelly on the PUP list.
Both players are coming off of torn ACLs suffered last season. Proehl, the son of longtime NFL wide receiver Ricky Proehl, suffered an ACL tear during last year’s joint practices with the Denver Broncos when his knee buckled while making a cut.
