Analyst sheds light on which Vikings' rookies could start in 2026
· Yahoo Sports
The Minnesota Vikings roster underwent a bit of an overhaul this offseason, leaving quite a few holes to be filled. While some will likely be filled with some of their free agent signings, Minnesota will need its rookies to step up in a big way in 2026. With opportunities to be had, are there any rookies who have a shot at starting this upcoming season?
Kevin Seifert of ESPN looked at all the rookies on the Vikings roster and went over their chances of starting this season. While starting multiple rookies could be dangerous, Seifert believes that both rookie defensive tackles, Caleb Banks and Domonique Orange, have real chances to be on the field in week one. Jake Golday and Jakobe Thomas could also see early work for Minnesota, with Thomas potentially being in the mix to replace Harrison Smith.
