Vikings rest 33 players in preseason finale against Broncos

DENVER – Quarterback Kirk Cousins walked through plays in Empower Field at Mile High with the Vikings' starting offense more than 2.5 hours before Saturday night's preseason finale against the Broncos, and that was all the action he'd get this preseason.

Up next: the Sept. 11 opener against the Packers.

The Vikings rested 33 players against the Broncos. The starting offense did not play — Cousins, receivers Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and K.J. Osborn, running back Dalvin Cook, fullback C.J. Ham, left tackle Christian Darrisaw, center Garrett Bradbury, guard Ezra Cleveland and right tackle Brian O'Neill.
