On the eve of training camp, it doesn't seem like the Minnesota Vikings expect Joshua Metellus to practice. But they do expect several injured players to start ramping up into action. Plus, I have some complaints about the Locked On Top 100.

Training camp is around the corner, and as long as we don't see any Christian Darrisaw PUP announcement, that might mean he is ready to start ramping up to real participation. That's way ahead of schedule.

J.J. McCarthy returned to Minnesota Vikings training camp on Sunday, along with nearly half the roster as the opening practice draws nearer. Plus, Jordan Addison's trial happened and a bunch of league news went down. A lot happened while I was away!

If I asked you to name the most important game in Minnesota Vikings history, what would you say? A Super Bowl? An NFC Championship? I argue that it was something seemingly innocuous, but it carried with it the fate of the entire franchise.
