Dan Bailey? Kaare Vedvik? Matt Wile? Vikings still have no clarity in kicking game

Dan Bailey and Matt Wile were already on the practice field for the Vikings’ Sunday training camp practice when the team finalized a deal for Kaare Vedvik, the player who could replace one of them on the 2019 roster.

Two days after the move, as Bailey kicked and Vedvik punted in team drills while Wile (who sliced his left thumb during Friday’s game in New Orleans) worked on his own, there was still little clarity about how the Vikings’ special teams group will ultimately look. Coach Mike Zimmer said he plans to take a look at all three players in the Vikings’ second preseason game on Sunday night against the Seahawks, indicating Vedvik could work as both a kicker and a punter before the end of the preseason.
