EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The Vikings donned pads for the first time in 10 days for Wednesday’s practice as Minnesota continued preparing for this weekend’s trip to Philadelphia.
The newest Viking, tackle Jake Long, had a special request, hoping that Everson Griffen and others would not take it easy on him. Long was signed during the Vikings bye week and is looking forward to practicing against a stout Vikings defensive line.
“When you can go up against some of the best pass rushers and d-line every single day in practice, that makes you better as a line, as an individual,” Long said.
