Camp Continues with Corner Conundrum
Vikings Territory Breakdown Podcast
Another day, another day cornerback issue for the Minnesota. CB Mekhi Blackmon tore his ACL on the first day of practice and is out for the season. Couple that with the death of rookie CB Khyree Jackson and a leg injury to offseason acquisition Shaq Griffin and the Vikings are suddenly scrambling to piece together a starting secondary come September.
As a result, the Purple have signed a number of free agent cornerbacks to add some depth and fill out the camp roster. Those cornerbacks include former Viking and fan favorite Duke Shelley.
30-year-old Bobby McCain, Jacobi Francis and Fabian Moreau. It will be a crash course for them all getting up to speed in Brian Flores defense and a scramble for a practice roster for fans TCO Performance Center to see who is getting how many reps and what they are doing with them.
