-Greg Joseph went 2-2 from 43 and 48 yards out. He’s the only kicker on the roster currently. -Janarius Robinson tipped a pass in 11/11. He didn’t drop into coverage but wasn’t lined up at the line.
@ArifHasanNFL pointed out that they did this with Danielle Hunter, too, earlier

Udoh took all the first-team reps at right guard, the first time we’ve seen that. Dozier w/ 2s at RG.

Hill and Brandel each took LT reps with the 1s.

Dillon, Davidson and Zylstra all saw time w/ 1s at TE.

Notes from the Vikings practice that just concluded:
—Justin Jefferson was back on the field, though he didn’t do much in 11-on-11; caught one swing pass
—Danielle Hunter got most of his work in 7-on-7

Kirk Cousins hit Adam Thielen for a deep gain down the sideline at practice today then let out a loud “You like that?!” Followed it up with: “Hey, 19 is pretty good.”

#Vikings WR Adam Thielen said he recently spoke to special teams players about having that mindset on special teams. He said a lot of the young guys didn't even realize he once played special teams.

A self-aware Wyatt Davis on his first time out: "It was a huge jump definitely from college, definitely had my welcome to the NFL moment my first play. Huge thing for me was just bouncing back from that"

Rook looks good. Some solid work in there by Cole too.

Sounds like relatively good news on Tyler Conklin; source says it was a mild hamstring injury for the Vikings tight end yesterday.

Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer said after Saturday's preseason opener that the biggest area of improvement he wanted to see out of Kellen Mond was an increase in the pace and tempo of his play.
Mond responded in a big way Monday, having perhaps his best practice as a rookie.
And he thrived in the situation Zimmer talked about, as he led reserves to a go-ahead field goal in an end-of-the-first-half situation.
With the game tied at 7 and 71 seconds on the clock, Mond and the offense took over at their own 30-yard line. He hit A.J. Rose, Jr., for a short pass before Zach Davidson moved the chains with a 32-yard reception.
Completions to Rose and Myron Mitchell set up a 43-yard field goal try, but that was moved back due to a false start.
Greg Joseph then stepped up to hit a 48-yard field goal as time expired on the clock.

Olisaemeka Udoh didn't play Saturday, as he and others along the offensive line watched from the sideline.
And it appears that Udoh has moved ahead of Dakota Dozier in the battle to be the starting right guard. That was amplified Monday by Udoh taking all of the first-team reps, with Dozier on the second unit and Wyatt Davis running with the third group.

Rashod Hill and Blake Brandel split reps at first-team left tackle, but it's worth noting that Hill also did not play Saturday and appeared to get banged up last week against the Broncos.
Brandel, for what it's worth, won both of his 1-on-1 reps against Janarius Robinson on Monday.
Brandel also took second-team reps at left tackle, and was joined by Dru Samia, Mason Cole, Dozier and Evin Ksiezarczyk.

A pair of veteran cornerbacks stood out for their coverage on deep passes.
Patrick Peterson looked like the veteran he is, as he denied deep passes from Kirk Cousins and Jake Browning down the right sideline. Cousins' attempt went for K.J. Osborn, while Browning was looking for Ihmir Smith-Marsette.
Breeland hung with Adam Thielen down the left sideline, and broke up a pass to the two-time Pro Bowler from Cousins.
Cousins and Thielen did connect on a deep throw down the right sideline with Harrison Hand in coverage.

There were 312 qualifying offensive linemen (played at least 20 snaps) in this weekend's games per PFF. Dakota Dozier's ranking?...... 312th.
