3. Odds and ends
Minnesota spent most of Thursday's session with the starters going against the third-team units on the other side of the ball.
This meant the Vikings first-team offense went against the defensive backups, and that Minnesota's starting defense faced off against the third-team offense.
D.J. Wonnum made the defensive play of that day in that scenario, as he retreated 15 yards downfield to intercept quarterback Danny Etling. With key starters such as Peterson, Woods and Barr not practicing, that meant a chance for younger players such as Boyd, Camryn Bynum and Troy Dye to get some run with the starters.
Offensively, it was also worth noting that backup Jake Browning took some first-team reps with the starting offensive line and skill players while Cousins took a breather.
