The Vikings players have had to prepare this offseason amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Eight players have been put on the Vikings’ reserve/COVID-19 list, one of whom has been activated. So far, defensive tackle Michael Pierce is the only Vikings player who has opted out of the 2020 season so far.
Our friends at Touchdown Wire compiled a tracker for each NFL team.
As ESPN’s Adam Schefter stated earlier this offseason, being put on the reserve/COVID-19 list doesn’t mean the players have the virus; they may have just been exposed to it.
Here is the list of the Vikings players who have been put on the list so far, in addition to the dates they were added to the list. When a player is activated, we will update the list to include the date that occurred.
