Players will be fighting to earn playing time for the Minnesota Vikings this season and that will depend highly on training camp performances.
Training camp is here. That means Minnesota Vikings players will be giving it their all to impress the coaching staff in order to move up the depth chart or secure a spot on the team’s 53-man roster.
Strangely, there aren’t a lot of battles going on in training camp for the purple and gold this year. Most of the starting positions are solidified with heavily favored individuals already in place at most positions.
That doesn’t mean training camp won’t be important. There are some major roles open on the depth chart and a lot of talented individuals fighting for them. Watching these battles unfold throughout camp and into the preseason will be entertaining for fans, but life-changing for the players in the fights.
Let’s take a look at six of the biggest training camp battles the new regime of the Minnesota Vikings will have heading into the 2022 NFL season and what the battle itself could mean for the team and the players involved.
