The Minnesota Vikings are seeing significant movement in their training camp as injuries and recoveries shape their roster. Safety Josh Metellus returned to practice after missing two days due to an ankle injury, a positive sign for the defensive unit. Notably, offensive linemen Christian Darrisaw and Will Fries, who both suffered serious injuries last season, have been cleared to participate in practice, albeit initially in individual drills.

Meanwhile, standout receiver Justin Jefferson missed practice due to a mild hamstring strain. The team's caution with him signals their commitment to maintaining health heading into the season. Fries took a step forward in Monday's training by participating in 11-on-11 drills, marking an important return to form after his injury troubles. The team's strategy during training camp continues to focus on balancing recovery with preparation for the upcoming season.
