This answers a lot of questions already...some names I noted who have already reported to camp:
Christian Darrisaw
Will Fries
Rondale Moore
All back(?) from injuries.
All 4 QBs reported.
Looks like the rest are rookies and UDFAs.

Soon I need to see Will Fries in uniform practicing at RG with the starters. Please. It'll make it real for me and not some fever dream I had. I don't know when Darrisaw will be in there full time, but its damn good he's there already.

This season will likely be the most-anticipated for Vikings' offensive linemen...EVER.
If we have finally replaced our IOL with blockers instead of matadors, the offense will be at least 20% better...immediately.
Wishing a great season for the team, Especially Mundt and Kwenkeu!

Adding Hutch was pretty cool too.

It appears that Gavin Bartholomew is starting the season on PUP meaning he can attend meetings but not practice. That might open the door for Yurosek as TE3. Noteworthy is that Fries and Darrisaw reported early and didn't get a PUP designation so indicates they're going to practice to some degree.

A few beat writers have insisted it's too optimistic to think Darrisaw will be ready for the opener. Alec Lewis called the idea "probably a rosy one." But he sure has been cleared to do a lot of work for someone who's not expected to be ready for a game 7 weeks from today. I'm sure they'll play it smart and keep his reps down in training camp, but I'm beginning to think it might be more likely than not he plays in Chicago.

JJM approves this message.
But seriously, having Darrisaw back is going to be a huge help for this offense. It allows them to work together and start gelling as a unit and with their new QB. If Fries starts as well, my expectations go up significantly.

Gavin is going to have a really hard time making the team from the trainer's room.
Interesting that neither Darrisaw, Fries or Rondale Moore aren't on the PUP list from Day 1 of camp....a very good sign. I think Darrisaw truly is ahead of schedule. Guys heal at different speeds.
