EAGAN, Minn. — The first practice of 2025 Vikings Training Camp presented by Omni Viking Lakes is in the books.
Although players were just in helmets and shorts to start the camp acclimation period, the tempo was fast, cutting through the thick, humid air inside the non-climate controlled Indoor Practice Facility. Wednesday’s session was initially planned for outside, but moved inside because of afternoon rain.
The Vikings quickly moved through special teams work and a period that focuses on ball security before individual drills and some team and 7-on-7 work with a few highlights by the offense and defense.
The day concluded with a tight-window throw from J.J. McCarthy to T.J. Hockenson along the sideline. The second-year QB and first-year starter zipped the ball, and Hockenson secured it.
The play built on recent work the duo put together in Tennessee with several Vikings teammates. Every whisker of Hockenson’s beard and Norseman-like mustache dripped with sweat as he talked about his impressions of McCarthy and gratefulness to be on the field for a full offseason.
