So, what are we worried about worrying, and which are only the bumps and bruises that are accompanied by a return to football? Tyler Sullivan’s Training camp Injury Panic meter Increases some alarm bells on many ailments, including …

• Sullivan: “Jefferson Panic Meter: Medium 🚨🚨 – As noted by CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin, who is finished Vikings Training camp, Jefferson seemed to be in a good mood on Monday, but he still didn’t participate. … The 26-year-old has a history of hamstring injuries, because he was limited to 10 games in 2023, and this type of injury is one that could go back in an instant. … Until he has recorded a few full-speed practices in a row, this is another injury that should be on people’s radars. “

And that is not to forget that if you are the Vikings, you would like to have it for it JJ McCarthy And Jefferson to get as many repetitions as possible after McCarthy had missed the entire last season. I am not yet worried, but it is absolutely not an ideal development.

One day away from the NFL returns -yes, I will retain the Hall of Fame Game counts, and Get ready for a few things in the end for many times Trey Lance! – We break Tyler’s 10 Biggest wildcards of the seasonincluded …

• Sullivan: “Michael Penix Jr. – If you look at his songs of his three starts at the end of last season, you will not be blown away. He only completed 58% of his passes and had a passer -rating of 78.9 over that piece. Not exactly the type of production that offers a lot of optimism, right? Well, they don’t tell the whole story. Penix seemed to endure the eye test when he was in the middle, even if the statistical production was not with that perception. So something will have to give. “

I absolutely believe in the infrastructure around Penix, both in terms of staff (Sesam Robinson And Drake Londonsomeone?) And coaching. Can they break and win the NFC South for the first time since 2016?
