11:15am – He will have plenty more chances during training camp, but the Moritz Böhringer era in Minnesota is off to a rough start. Deep breaths kid, settle down.
MoBo update:
1 jump offsides
1 dropped pass deep over the middle— Luke Inman (@Luke_Spinman) July 29, 2016
11:25am – Marcuse Sherels may see some competition for his role as the team’s punt returner from Stefon Diggs this summer. Something to keep an eye on during training camp and the preseason.
Troy Stoudermire, Marcus Sherels, and Stefon Diggs look to be the guys that will get punt return looks.
