After nearly six weeks of practices and three preseason games, the Vikings are ready to open the 2024 season. A 1.5 point favorite, the Vikings play at the New York Giants Sunday at noon.

KSTP Sports spoke this week with RB Aaron Jones, S Harrison Smith, CB Dwight McGlothern, LB Blake Cashman, and S Josh Metellus.

On the injury front, head coach Kevin O’Connell noted on Wednesday that WR Jordan Addison (ankle) is progressing and the hope is he’s a full participant in practice later in the week. In other words, expect him to play on Sunday.

WR Jalen Nailor (ankle) is a little behind Addison, per O’Connell. But don’t be surprised if he also plays on Sunday.

LB Blake Cashman (finger) is good to go.
