Rudy Ready to Return
There are few discussions about Vikings tight ends that don’t start and end with Rudolph, who suffered injuries in 2013 and 2014. Rudolph required surgery on a sports hernia he suffered in Week 3 last season, causing him to miss six straight games and finish the year with career lows of 24 receptions, 231 yards and two touchdowns.
