Minnesota Vikings Prepare for 2024 Season

The Minnesota Vikings are gearing up for the 2024 NFL season with notable preseason performances, particularly from quarterback Jaren Hall, who completed 17-of-25 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns in the finale against the Eagles, earning the highest offensive grade from Pro Football Focus. Despite his strong showing, Hall's roster spot remains uncertain as the team contemplates his placement on the 53-man roster. Rookie kicker Will Reichard also impressed, finishing second in scoring among all players during the preseason. However, the team faces challenges with cornerback Najee Thompson placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury, adding to the difficulties in their already troubled secondary. Additionally, preseason projections from The Athletic forecast a tough season ahead for the Vikings, predicting only 6.8 wins, one of the lowest in the league. As the roster cuts approach, several players, including Andre Carter II and Robert Tonyan, are at risk of not making the final team.
