Vikings special teams coach Matt Daniels said Tuesday that the competition between veteran kicker Greg Joseph and undrafted rookie Jack Podlesny remains open with no specific deadline on a final decision.
"In football, things always work themselves out," Daniels said. "So we'll just keep keep going."
Joseph is expected to receive "a good brunt of the work" in the Vikings' first preseason game at Seattle on Thursday (9 p.m., Ch. 9), according to Daniels, who added that Podlesny will also be involved.
Podlesny, who was named SEC Special Teams Player of the Year last season as the placekicker for the national champion Georgia Bulldogs, would likely have been released already if Daniels wasn't seriously considering him.
