Vikings Held a Punter Workout Today
The Vikings held a punter workout today, special teams coordinator Matt Daniels said, as P Brett Thorson works through a hamstring injury on his kicking leg. Unclear yet whether they can get Thorson ready for Sunday.

Better make sure it’s an interim guy that can hold for field goals….looks line one of them was Hekker. Make it so. 👌

I would think Thorson could still do the holding for field goals?
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

I hadn’t thought of that lol… Unless they decide to put a him on IR. And I guess he’d be inactive on game days if no IR, so I don’t think they’d keep a gameday roster spot for him just to hold for Will. 🤷

Wouldnt surprise me if they do though...Depends of course, on what's happening elsewhere on the roster.
The Assassin needs to keep rocking things...

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
