Frazier said both Xavier Rhodes and Chris Summers will sit out today's practice with hamstring issues. Erin (groin) will practice

That's a good sign. They may want him to push Charlie Johnson, and maybe even hope that he takes the starting job.

Ugh, I don't like reading about hamstring issues. Sometimes they linger. Hopefully, the issues keeping Rhodes and Summers out of practice are mild.

Matt Kalil:"I weighed in this morning around 313. I'm a little heavier than last year. I'm where I want to be, in my comfort zone." #Vikings
Frazier said #Vikings will practice 2-minute drill for the first time this afternoon. "We shot ourselves in the foot last year" at times

Erin Henderson - LB - Vikings

Coach Leslie Frazier praised Erin Henderson's practice play at middle linebacker on Friday, and now says a position switch to the outside is "unlikely."

Frazier said Henderson is "thriving" at Mike 'backer, and "maturing as a defensive leader" while Desmond Bishop has "worked well" at outside linebacker. In all likelihood, Henderson will open the season inside, bookended by SLB Chad Greenway and WLB Bishop. It does remain to be seen whether Henderson will stay on the field for nickel downs, but that's probably a good bet.

If Frazier thinks Henderson is thriving at his new position, that's great news.

It will be interesting read more about the two-minute drill practices later today. Hopefully, they'll go well.

Getting injured it looks like. In addition to Rhodes, looks like Raymond is out and now something is up with Bishop.

That's a drag! I hope none of the injuries are serious.

@Andrew_Krammer: Ponder was 6 for 6 in 7 on 7 drills. Just missed his first throw in 8 tries as he overthrew Simpson on a go route

Looks like a hamstring for Raymond too. Bishop told reporters he was fine while walking off so hopefully they're not out long.
