Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings' three-day rookie minicamp got underway on Friday afternoon at TCO Performance Center. 51 players were in attendance, comprised of draft picks, undrafted rookies, tryout players, and a handful of returning second-year players who didn't see the field as rookies. One player notably not among that last group is J.J. McCarthy, Minnesota's QB1. Despite theoretically being eligible, he's already had one rookie camp and will get the weekend off with the rest of his veteran teammates.

Update: McCarthy was NOT eligible to participate, according to a Vikings spokesperson.
