Miss anything? Here are the big storylines that affect the Vikings recently
It can be hard to keep up with the Vikings amid a busy training camp session.

Here are some other storylines you may have missed recently:

Bad news for the Vikings: arguably the best player in the division is back in Green Bay. Despite all the drama this offseason, Rodgers was seen walking into the facility at Lambeau Field. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Green Bay is offering concessions and is close to an agreement that would bring Rodgers back for at least 2021. The deal is not officially done, but it is close, per Schefter.
