J.J. McCarthy’s assigned himself summer homework: Keep studying the playbook, rejuvenate his body (though his knee feels great) and throw with his teammates — wherever he needs to go to find them. More on how QB1 is leaving mini camp with eyes on August: bit.ly/3FKYrUF

Notable praise from Kevin O'Connell today on his new QB Max Brosmer: "As smart as any young player I've been around from a standpoint of really hadn't been exposed to a lot of reps this spring, but his ownership of the information kind of right on par. ... I'm excited about our room."

“He has so much to worry about... play clock, if the defense has shifted, making a call... If somebody goes in motion and they’re not set yet, I’m like, ‘Hey, we’ve got a motion.’ We’re just trying to find that chemistry" Chip Scoggins on McCarthy's development: www.startribune.com/jj-mccarthy-...

Josh Metellus also continues to limit himself to only 11-on-11 work so far this spring amid contract talks. Asked him yesterday if he'd sit out drills in training camp and about the situation here... www.startribune.com/vikings-tigh...

Christian Darrisaw did not participate today, the second of three minicamp sessions, after walking through drills yesterday. Doesn't sound like a cause for concern. Expectation remains that the new O-line won't fully come together, including guard Will Fries, until start of training camp.

During the regular season, the Wolves were 20-3 when they scored more than 120. If they go on to to lose this series, they'll regret that their defense was just a little too loose and a little too mistake-prone, that it wasn't up to their standards, like Dallas last year.
