The hometown 9 are hoping to bounce back since their gut punch loss in Los Angeles on Wednesday - we talked to Henry Lake about the upcoming weekend series against a downtrodden Nationals team and also the latest from TCO Performance Center in Eagan and the Lynx back in action as well!

The Vikings returned to TCO Performance Center for the 2025 Training Camp this week, and, thus far, it is mostly good news coming out of Eagan, Minn. Where many feared the Vikings' offensive line would be missing two players fans are counting on this season, both veteran left tackle Christan Darrisaw and recent free agent addition right Matt Fries will not start the season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Fries will be ready to go at camp, while the team will bring back Darrisaw slowly from his major knee injury—but he is expected to be ready to go for week one.

Welcome to episode 305 of the Minnesota Vikings Podcast! Tatum Everett welcomes back Brian Asamoah II and Aaron Jones to TCO Performance Center as the 2025 Minnesota Vikings open Training Camp. Brian and Aaron recap their life changing trip this summer to help support the NFL Africa Camp held in Ghana. Brian talks about how important it is to give back to his parental homeland, the passion of the participants at these camps, the impacts his foundation have made so far, and Aaron Jones discusses how blessed he feels to have been a major part of such an important program. Plus, Tatum gives a quick Training Camp primer before everything kicks off this weekend at Vikings Omni Training Camp.

There is a little news trickling out of TCO Performance Center, such as the fact that Swiss Army knife-like defender Josh Metellus is still not signed and wide receiver Jordan Addison had a court date this week. Hopefully there will be resolution on both accounts, and everyone will report to Eagan on time for camp.

It all begins in earnest. The Vikings mandatory minicamp commenced at TCO Performance Center this week, and the news is already spilling out regarding who is there and who is there but not practicing. Thus far, the Vikings have good numbers in attendance, including left tackle Christian Darrisaw (who injured his knee last season) taking part in individual drills. Certainly, TE Josh Oliver is there, as he inked a contract extension and becomes an important cog in the development of the Purple's young quarterback.

Matthew Coller is joined by the Pioneer Press' Dane Mizutani to discuss how JJ McCarthy did on a windy practice field at TCO Performance Center during Week 2 of Vikings OTAs.

The state of Minnesota experienced temperatures north of 90 degrees this past week, so that must mean it is the dead days of August and training camp begins, right? Well, not exactly. It is May and has been unseasonably warm and the Vikings have assembled—but it's just the rookies and their minicamp at TCO Performance Center. Still, the new football year has begun. We haven't had too many headlines yet as the Rookie Minicamp is just a way for the newbies to come to town, meet their prospective teammates and Vikings staff and get oriented to the way Minnesota does things. There are a few tidbits that have surfaced—such as undrafted rookie CB Zemaiah Vaughn picking off undrafted QB Max Brosmer along the sidelines and rookie linebacker Kobe King making another pick. But we aren't yet hanging any banners nor making any proclamations about who will be Mr. Eagan (nee Mankato). Still, we will talk about it. The fellas at Vikings Territory Breakdown podcast—Joe Oberle, senior writer at vikingsterritory.com and purplePTSD.com and Mark Craig, NFL and Vikings writer for the Star Tribune and startribune.com—are here to report from minicamp with stories of who stepped up, who stood out or who said something interesting (or, perhaps, out of the ordinary). Plus, we'll cover all the latest news of the Purple. Tune into the podcast and catch it all. Skol!
