Instant observations from the first open practice Vikings of training camp

The Minnesota Vikings have had three practices closed to fans, but on Saturday, the fans were back and the excitement is palpable.

Throughout the course of training camp, they will be hosting 14 practices open to the public, including practices against the Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals.

The best part about the open practices is the influx of information is excellent. Here are highlights from those in attendance at training camp practice on Saturday afternoon at TCO Performance Center.
