The Minnesota Vikings are preparing for training camp later this summer and made a big announcement on social media to that effect.
Minnesota is among the more interesting teams in the NFL heading into the 2025 campaign after winning 14 games last season before changing quarterbacks from a Pro Bowler in Sam Darnold to a second-year signal-caller in J.J. McCarthy who will not take his first regular-season snap as a professional until Week 1.
The intrigue around McCarthy and what he can accomplish in head coach Kevin O’Connell’s system while surrounded by what otherwise appears to be a championship-caliber roster has already permeated one of the hungriest and most passionate fan bases around the league. For those members of Vikings nation who don’t want to wait until early September to see with their own eyes what the offense can do, Minnesota announced on Tuesday, June 17, several opportunities for fans to come out and get a closer look at the team during its summer work.The #Vikings will hold 12 open practices during training camp, beginning on July 26 and concluding on Aug. 13-14, when the [New England] Patriots are in Eagan for joint practices,” Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune posted to X. “Tickets for practices are available today on the team website.”
