Broncos, Vikings plan joint practices

FJzPuwuSSxeN
Mike Florio and Chris Simms assess why the Minnesota Vikings wanted to trade up to No. 8 in the NFL draft for Justin Fields and explore what implications this has on Kellen Mond and Kirk Cousins' future with the team.

The Broncos and Vikings are the latest teams to agree to a summer get-together.

Mike Klis of 9 News in Denver reports that the two teams are finalizing plans to hold joint practices in Minnesota before they meet in their first preseason game on August 14.

Teams often practice together with preseason opponents, and the Vikings and Broncos have an obvious connection as new Broncos General Manager George Paton spent the last 14 years in Minnesota.

Broncos coach Vic Fangio has emphasized that quarterbacks Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater will be competing each day through training camp and the preseason, and seeing how they operate against an opposing team’s defense will be of particular interest.
