I made my way down to TCO Performance Center for the Minnesota Vikings’ first padded practice of the 2025 edition of training camp. It was a hot one- 90+ degrees when the Vikings took the field for their 2:30pm practice.
I’ll take a chronological approach to notes on the practice, starting with position drills and moving on to team drills later.
Punt Specialists
The first activities I noticed were the punt returner drills that started before practice and included Silas Bolden, Myles Price, Dontae Fleming, Jalen Nailor, Rondale Moore, Tai Felton, and Lucky Jackson back fielding punts from both Ryan Wright and Oscar Chapman.
