Joint practices, where two NFL teams meet during the offseason to scrimmage and go through other training, is a regularity across the league.
But with this being no usual offseason, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer thinks there might be some issues with doing a joint practice.
“I’ve thought about it a little bit,” Zimmer told ESPN’s Courtney Cronin and other reporters. “The problem I foresee with having the joint practices is you may not be able to get your guys up to speed fast enough for what they have to do as opposed to worrying about another player. If it gets down to it, I can see there might be depending on how much time we have during training camp and before the games.”
Zimmer also told reporters he could see there being a one-day practice with another team.
“I don’t know if I’d want to spend two or three days when we’re trying to get our football team ready to play,” Zimmer told Cronin and other reporters.
