Sounds like Cam is definitely in the running to be one of the starting corners. After all the hand-wringing it's not hard to imagine this corner group being better than last year's group. And I say that mostly because last year's group was god-awful.
Jefferson impresses again
The Vikings' Tuesday practice was the final session of camp that the team planned to livestream. It was more lively than the one fans saw on Monday, as the team tested its young cornerbacks with a busy day of downfield shots.
Here are some observations from the day:
• First-round pick Justin Jefferson worked with all of the Vikings' offensive units as the team tries to get the receiver more practice time before the season. He had an impressive connection with Kirk Cousins on a deep throw off play action, and made plays with the Vikings' second- and third-team offenses as well.
• During his work with the first-team defense, rookie cornerback Cameron Dantzler intercepted Cousins on a play-action throw for Bisi Johnson. It was an up-and-down day overall for Dantzler, who got beat in coverage at least once, but the Vikings continue to give him chances to prove himself against veterans.
• Danielle Hunter sat out again with what coach Mike Zimmer described as a "tweak" on Monday; the defensive end made an appearance on the sideline later in practice.
• Dan Bailey continued his perfect start on field goals, making four on Tuesday to improve to 7-for-7 so far in camp.
• The Vikings continued to rotate Aviante Collins and Dakota Dozier at left guard, alongside the four players who seem established in their offensive line spots: Riley Reiff at left tackle, Garrett Bradbury at center, Pat Elflein at right guard and Brian O'Neill at right tackle.
