That’s why Thursday’s preseason opener between the Vikings and Seahawks in Seattle can’t get here soon enough. It will provide a glimpse of something real.Though he hasn’t confirmed anything yet, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell likely won’t let most of his starters suit up for live action.

"In general, these garments must be searched upon entering the facility before they are returned or another is issued. The Sheriff's Office is committed to protecting people's religious rights while also ensuring the safety of everyone in the facilities," the law enfor...
