The 0-2 Vikings will prepare to face an 0-2 Chargers team looking to bounce back this week. But there are major questions in Minnesota.

Several young players impressed, but there now will be some tough roster decisions to make at running back, wide receiver and safety.

Rookie CB Mekhi Blackmon might be dinged up, but there's plenty more we're wondering about heading into the preseason game vs. the Titans.

With the big-name starters unlikely to play much, the spotlight will be on guys like Hall and Cine who are out to prove their worth.

Ahead of Thursday's preseason opener against the Seahawks, we thought it would be interesting to predict Minnesota's final 53-man roster.

Coming off a season-ending leg injury in 2022, the safety likes what he has seen so far of new coordinator Brian Flores' defense.

If there’s a story of the spring in Minnesota, it is the transition on defense being led by Flores, the Vikings' new coordinator.

Whereas last year's defense played off coverage, Flores is working to instill a new identity in his unit — that of the aggressor.

The new defensive coordinator seems to have made an instant impact, but several young defensive backs still have to prove their worth.

The second-year safety's goal is to "be ready to play,” while players like the aggressiveness of the new defensive coordinator's scheme.
