Waynes was flagged three times in the Hall of Fame Game and was providing part of the coverage on a 40-yard pass play against Tampa Bay. He flashed great closing speed on an impressive pass breakup against Oakland when he played exclusively on the outside instead of also handling some coverage of the slot.
“Hopefully this week we’ll see some improvement with the things we worked on this week in practice,” Edwards said.
The Vikings visit the Cowboys at 6 p.m. Saturday, and it’s likely Waynes will receive a significant amount of reps.
“There is no substitute for experience, getting out there and having to do it under the lights against good competition week-in and week-out, so there is no substitute for that,” Edwards said.
