MANKATO, Minn. (WCCO) — Rookies with the Minnesota Vikings are already at training camp in Mankato.
They reported to Minnesota State University Sunday, along with select veterans. Those who reported Sunday had their first practices of training camp on Monday.
Veteran players don’t report until Wednesday, and the first full team workout is Thursday. This is the first time head coach Mike Zimmer has had the rookies report ahead of the veterans.
WCCO’s David McCoy was in Mankato on Monday as the rookies took to the field for their first practice as Vikings.
It might be Day 1 of training camp, but the reality is this isn’t nearly the first time Vikings’ coaches have gotten a look at what Dalvin Cook can do while wearing purple.
