The preseason opener for the Minnesota Vikings is officially in the books, and the scoreboard says that the purple fell to the Las Vegas Raiders by a final score of 26-20. However, as we always say, the most important thing about the preseason is whether or not anyone gets hurt, and it appears that the Vikings got out of this one relatively injury-free.
There were some players I saw on Sunday that helped their chances of making the team and some that didn’t really do much to distinguish themselves. While I’m not going to do the full-blown “Stock Report” or anything like that, I can identify some players that fall under each heading.
