New Vikings cornerback Bashaud Breeland revealed Wednesday he underwent shoulder surgery after Kansas City's Super Bowl appearance in February, which is delaying his first full practice for Minnesota.
But Breeland, the former Chiefs starter who signed a one-year deal on Friday, was still pulled into the mix during Wednesday's practice by head coach Mike Zimmer for a little one-on-one training.
"He was teaching [Patrick Peterson] the technique and [Zimmer] looked over at me like, 'What you looking at, why you ain't out here?'" Breeland said. "I'm like, 'You teach one, you teach all of us,' but he still made me come out there and really get my own rep and get my own feel.
