Justin Jefferson, what with his pending contract extension, has been a no-show at Minnesota Vikings OTAs. That's not a big deal, since it's very standard for players pending big deals to stay off the field as much as they can to minimize risk.

Brian Flores' defense is being described as "intense" and their late-snap shifts have been giving the offense headaches. Plus, does the new kickoff rule put Kene Nwangwu's job in question?
