One of the three Vikings to start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list returned to practice Monday.
Receiver Brandon Zylstra, who had dealt with a nagging left hamstring injury, passed his physical and ran routes with the second-team offense during Monday’s morning walkthrough.
“It feels good,” Zylstra said. “It’s something I’ve been waiting a while for, working hard for.”
Zylstra, the Spicer, Minn. native and Concordia College graduate, missed the first three full-squad practices in a crowded receiver group. However, he returns a day after head coach Mike Zimmer lamented the young receivers’ lack of focus and precision during the start of training camp.
