The Vikings will meet virtually for offseason work, according to a report.
Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press said a source told him that Minnesota will take part in a virtual offseason program, beginning on April 27, amid the coronavirus pandemic.
A source told him that the team will do classroom work, but not require virtual workouts. Other teams across the league have workouts virtually with a trainer.
Players will have several hours of classwork a day for four to five days a week. The players earn $235 for each classroom session they attend.
There have been reports of players doing virtual workouts and keeping in contact with team personnel, such as the Vikings’ Kyle Rudolph.
The NFL and the NFLPA agreed to a remote program last Monday that will replace offseason drills.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins told the Pioneer Press and other reporters about how his training will not be changing from a regular offseason too much.
“(It’s) very little actual football on the field and the physical activity is more in the weight room, which is really what guys should be doing on their own at this time.”
