Report: Rick Dennison, Vikings Part Ways After Asst. Coach Refused COVID-19 Vaccine

Rick Dennison is reportedly no longer the offensive line coach/run game coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings because he did not want to receive a vaccine for COVID-19.

Courtney Cronin of ESPN reported the Vikings parted ways with Dennison on Friday. He held the position for the previous two years.

As Cronin noted, the NFL requires all Tier 1 staff, which includes coaches, front-office executives, equipment managers and scouts, be vaccinated unless they have a "valid religious or medical reason" not to.
