Some recent Minnesota Vikings rumors have to do with the team’s recent battle with the COVID-19 virus and how it could affect them in the future.

Prior to last Saturday’s night practice, the Minnesota Vikings found out that 75 percent of their quarterback room would be unable to participate in the session due to rookie passer Kellen Mond testing positive for COVID-19.

Since neither has received a full dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, both Kirk Cousins and Nate Stanley were forced to sit out of Saturday’s practice as well because they were considered high-risk close contacts.
