MANKATO, Minn. — The Vikings first preseason game of 2016 is just one week away, but that will be just one element of Minnesota’s visit to Cincinnati next week.
The Vikings will wrap up the 51st training camp at Minnesota State University, Mankato and travel to Cincinnati on Tuesday for a full-padded practice with the Bengals on Wednesday and a shoulder-padded practice Thursday.
Zimmer said starters from both teams could get a lot of work in Thursday’s practice through a mutual understanding between the teams.
“That was the idea, to get the guys that typically play throughout the season to get more work that day,” Zimmer said.
