A bit of a weird story coming from the Minnesota Vikings today, as a couple of members of the Training staff find themselves in the news.

According to Paul Walsh of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Vikings’ head trainer Uriah Myrie and assistant Connor Whicker were fined for performing their duties as trainers without being licensed by the state.

Myrie, who came to the Vikings after spending several years with the Houston Texans, was fined $1,000 by regulators on Thursday, while Whicker was hit with a $500 fine.

Myrie was hired by the Vikings in March of 2022, but he apparently did not apply for his license with the state until June.
