Minnesota is set to start virtual workouts on Monday, but in-person workouts are still up in the air.
Vikings DE Stephen Weatherly said that Minnesota has yet to discuss the issue of spring in-person workouts as a team, per Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press.
NFL players on the Seahawks and Broncos have stated that they will not be attending the voluntary in-person workouts amid the coronavirus pandemic. Weatherly told Tomasson that other teams could do the same:
“I think other teams will follow suit once they get to a point where they’re talking to coaches and have a better footing and then they can make a decision because I think it’s going to be very unique to each team,” Weatherly told Tomasson.
Weatherly said to Tomasson that the plan is for the Vikings to start virtual workouts next week and then maybe switch to in-person work later in the spring.
Weatherly is a recent signing for Minnesota, but he had a four-season stint with the Vikings before going to the Panthers in the offseason of 2020. Now, he has a chance to claim a big role on defense with his old team.
