McCaffrey and Smith again the first ones out here for practice.

 

Nobody freak out about this observation. But on a second team rep in an OL drill, Taylor Moton was at LT and Tyler Larsen was at LG. Third team was Hearn at LG.

Like we saw in the spring, Alex Armah is going through position drills with the tight ends.

 

Chris Manhettz joins the bike crew today.

 

New tight end Cam Serigne getting an earful during blocking drills currently: "Correct yourself! I told you that last time so correct it."

Man, Garrett Gilbert has a cannon.

 

Fairly light turnout here at Wofford for the second practice. Same several guys sitting out with injuries: Cox, Samuel, Ross, Peppers, Manhertz.

Lightest crowd I can remember for a day two.

Daryl Williams drew some praise for “picking his man up off the ground,”according to Coach Matsko, in a blocking drill.

 

They always split the offensive line into two groups for drills - starters/depth guys and third/fourth strong. John Matsko just called Brendan Mahon over to the big boys group.

Same initial starters as yesterday: Silatolu at LG, Seymour at CB. Gonna take a few days - and some padded practices - to start seeing movement.

 

Brendan Mahon got a nod from coach Matsko just now to come up and clang with the second teamers in pad drills just now. Keep an eye on him.

Kevon Seymour gets the nod for first reps at corner opposite Bradberry. Silatolu at LG.

 

Some good news - Manhertz is able to walk and do light rehab work without the boot on.

 

Greg Van Roten getting some extended run at center today in multiple drills.

Greg Van Roten getting first-team reps at center. Ron Rivera said they would be limiting Ryan Kalil’s reps to try to get him through the entire season.

 

Heinicke hits -guess who- Damiere Byrd on a nice comeback route.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
