The Vikings worked out in Minneapolis on Friday for the first time since George Floyd was killed in police custody on May 25, taking the field at U.S. Bank Stadium a day after a two-hour player-led meeting to discuss the shooting of Jacob Blake by a white police officer this week in Kenosha, Wis.
At the conclusion of the two-hour practice, the team congregated before reporters in the same end zone where it won its lone playoff game at U.S. Bank Stadium and delivered a series of speeches headlined by the strongest rebuke anyone in the organization has issued of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with second-degree murder in Floyd's death, and the other three former officers charged in the case.
