The Minnesota Vikings are a few months away from the start of the 2024 season but right now it's the beginning of this iteration of the Vikings suiting up on the practice field.
We are currently entrenched in phase three of OTA workouts. This allows the coaching staff to get the players on the field for 7-on-7, 9-on-9 and 11-on-11 drills. They can't have contact during these practices, but they are impactful for installs.
We will see a lot of different things throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamp but who we haven't seen yet is superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson. He didn't make his appearance at OTAs, which is exactly what happened last season. Jefferson appeared at mandatory minicamp and all of training camp but sat out the optional portions of the offseason program.
As we continue through week two of phase three, there are some intriguing elements to keep an eye on and we will get plenty of information on Wednesday as the media will be allowed to watch practice. We will keep this updated throughout the week as we get more information.
