The Vikings roster has reported to Eagan, and as a result, they have started their journey into the 2025 season. It starts at home in Minnesota, but they hope it ends on the road in Santa Clara, where they have a chance to raise the Lombardi Trophy for the first time.
Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O’Connell have new extensions, as do their assistants and coordinators. J.J. McCarthy is finally healthy and ready to take over the controls of a franchise that trusted him enough to stick with him when so many other options presented themselves. All in all, the coaching staff remains essentially unchanged, while the roster sees some position groups infused with youth and talent to solidify them.
The 12th day of training camp has wrapped up, and there was a lot to breakdown ahead of a busy week for the team but there was one takeaway we wanted to share from The Athletic’s Alec Lewis.
Not a ton of thoughts from the action, but Max Brosmer looked pretty good. More velo up close than I expected. Also keep seeing Jay Ward make plays when he’s out there. https://t.co/4yZQSYseo6

Reports have been coming out about how Sam Howell has looked less than spectacular suring training camp. With interceptions making up a lot of his game, there have been rumblings about a potential reunion with Kirk Cousins, but the team may have their backup in camp already.
Max Brosmer has been highlighted in a couple of camp notebooks, but as we get towards the first preseason game, he seems to be heating up. His performance this week, and how many snaps he gets, could be telling about the Vikings quarterback battle as the weeks go on.
