The Vikings kicking competition has suddenly ended.
Undrafted rookie kicker Jack Podlesny was waived Thursday morning, less than 24 hours after the 2022 SEC special teams player of the year nailed all three of his field-goal attempts in the first of two joint practices with the Tennessee Titans.
Podlesny laced in kicks from 35, 45 and 50 yards amid winds as high as 30 mph Wednesday, in preparation for his first in-game reps on Saturday.
Special teams coach Matt Daniels said Monday that both returning kicker Greg Joseph and Podlesny would get an opportunity to kick against the Titans in the preseason game at U.
