US EditionTakeaways from Day 2 of Vikings training camp
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, JUL 25 – The Vikings assess player health and depth amid key roster changes while preparing for the 2025 NFL season with rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy under close watch.
- During the second day of camp in Minneapolis, coaches noted Justin Jefferson sat out with a mild hamstring strain, while he also made nice throws in drills.
- With McCarthy stepping in as a first-time starter, he was selected with the tenth overall pick 15 months ago but hasn’t taken a single NFL rep, excluding the preseason, making his development crucial for the 2025 Vikings and future iterations.
- In nickel drills, Okudah has been running with the starters, seemingly ahead of Mekhi Blackmon, indicating his edge in the secondary competition.
- Meanwhile, Ryan Wright is the frontrunner for the punting job, with Oscar Chapman attempting to unseat him, and Darrisaw’s Week 1 return remains uncertain.
- Fans can attend the first public practice on Saturday afternoon, followed by the first practice in full pads on Monday, as McCarthy will be reevaluated next week.
