Kevin O’Connell said players later on will vote for Vikings team captains
Kirk Cousins points to Johnny Mundt and Zach Davidson as important pieces with Irv Smith Jr. out. Cousins says he leans heavily on Mundt because Mundt comes from the Rams system.
Vikings RB Kene Nwangwu again not practicing for Vikings
Kirk Cousins with an underneath pass to Zach Davidson that he wrestles away from Harrison Smith. “That’s a first down! Hell yeah, Zach!” shouts the quarterback.
Davidson has had a really busy day. He’s definitely been the QBs’ favorite target, getting reps with 1s and 2s. Couple balls off his hands, couple great catches and just had a ball stripped that he eventually recovered himself.

Greg Joseph putting on a show at the end of practice. Made all 9 of his kicks today, last one was good from about 58
Vikings working some situational stuff, offense down 24-21 with 45 secs left.
Kirk Cousins led the 1s to a game-tying field goal.
Kellen Mond and the 2s went 4 and out.
3 fumbled snaps today from Mond
Dalvin Cook has definitely had his reps reduced the day after his finger injury, but he’s still gotten a few carries. Mattison has essentially been RB1.
"• Harrison Phillips was impressive during 1-on-1s and team periods. Quite excited about his fit in this scheme.
• Saw flashes from the iOL depth in 1 v. 1s, particularly Chris Reed.
Intrigued by the role that Patrick Jones could play in Minnesota’s defense. I think the fronts in this scheme will suit his strengths.
• Patrick Peterson had several quality reps in coverage throughout the session.
emphasis placed upon special teams fundamentals across units. Some cool drills and hands-on coaching.
• O’Connell spent a lot of time with every aspect of the offense. Making tweaks and collaborating with the staff."
CB Nate Hairston, who started camp on non-football injury list before returning to practice Monday, said he's "back at full strength" and it "took me a couple of days to get my feet under me" Said he incurred ankle soreness when he was working out and "changing surfaces"
-Christian Darrisaw has looked good, held own vs Za'Darius Smith in 1v1's. Exited team drills w/ arm issue, Blake Brandel first up behind him.
-Backup QB/WR having rough camp so far; three botched snap exchanges just today. Nothing downfield from TEs w/o Irv.
Lot of in-breaking stuff to Jefferson w/ 1's. Appears to be emphasis, instant connection playing off his deep potential.
-Harrison Phillips continues to own 1v1 vs Bradbury. Watts had quick wins, too, vs iOL.
-Greg Joseph was money, making every FG including from ~55yd.
-Rookies Cine/Booth still w/ 2's behind Bynum and Dantzler. For how long?
-Chris Reed has played almost exclusively center last couple days; Ingram at RG w/ 2's. Davis the starter.
-Osborn, Smith-Marsette, Wilson, Nailor rotating on punt returns. Could be key for roster spot
