Perhaps the best sight at the Vikings’ first practice of training camp was the participation of left tackle Christian Darrisaw and right guard Will Fries. Both suffered season-ending injuries last season that resulted in surgical procedures.

Darrisaw and Fries both avoided the PUP list, meaning they'll be able to perform in some capacity as camp begins.

Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw will not begin training camp on a restricted list, signaling his rapid recovery from torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments and a positive omen as Minnesota introduces another new starting quarterback.
