On Tuesday, the Minnesota Vikings announced that Rick Dennison is going to remain with the team for the 2021 season as a senior offensive advisor.

Last week, ESPN’s Courtney Cronin reported that Rick Dennison was no longer going to be the offensive line coach/run-game coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings after refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

After the report, the Vikings released a statement saying that Dennison had not been fired and that they were still attempting to figure out what he might be able to do for the team during the upcoming season.
