There are a handful of things that deserve to be mentioned with this game, the biggest being, of course, that we can see JJ McCarthy come back after missing all last season. It doesn’t stop there, however. We receive questions about position battles, and we can see new faces that have arrived during the offseason.
Here are three things to know before the first pre-season match for the Vikings.
JJ McCarthy will be back
JJ McCarthy had all the imaginable mental representatives while waiting to return to the football field. Returning against the Houston Texans Will be a difficult test for him, and it will be the most formidable defense he has faced since his college days. The most important thing to know about this point before Saturday is that McCarthy will make mental mistakes anyway. Long distance from the field, this long will cause this, and that’s good, remember.

We can see how Brian Flores changed Dallas Turner
Kevin Seifert d’Espn wrote His observations from the training camp, and he understands that Turner is much better used in the training camp. He writes: “Turner was one of the three outdoor seconds on the ground with the first team, as well as Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel. They gave way to Turner using Harrison Smith and Josh Metellus as security, down the three -use look that they generally used in 2023 and 2024.”
This makes us ask, how will Flores use it on Saturday? We will have the answer early enough, but it seems that it is ready for an escape in 2025.
Are Reichard’s difficulties limited to practice?
Last week’s practice was not kind to the old Crimson tide kicker. During the last week, Will Reichard missed two kicks in training situations in training less than 50 meters, and one over this distance. During the weekend, Alec Lewis of athletics reported that Reichard had missed 40 yards this time, but twice. If missing continue to come, the team may be forced to start a competition for work; Otherwise, it will be a repeated event of life for fans of the Vikings and the curses of Kicker.
