Leading into the second week of the preseason, the Vikings have altered their schedule for training camp.
Coming into TCO Performance Center are the San Francisco 49ers. Led by Kyle Shanahan, they were a quarter away from making the Super Bowl. The practices between the two teams will be beneficial for both sides and it will also include Shanahan reuniting with quarterback Kirk Cousins.
During those joint practices, the Vikings have modified their practice schedule.

This change is interesting, as the 49ers are coming from the west coast. It also could be to take advantage of cooler practice conditions, as the high is set to be in the low 80’s each of the next two days.
These practices will be worth monitoring as the competitive level will be higher with the 49ers in town.
