44 days until Vikings season opener: Every player to wear No. 44

It’s the final countdown…

Well, sort of.

The Minnesota Vikings will kick off their 2023 regular season in 44 days at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 10.

From now until then, we will take a trip down memory lane and count each day by revisiting the players that have worn that specific jersey number.

Safety Josh Metellus currently wears the No. 44 for the Minnesota Vikings.
