The Minnesota Vikings are without superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson during training camp due to a minor hamstring strain. That in itself is a tough spot to be in for the Vikings, but it does create other opportunities for players on the roster.

Though it doesn’t sound as if Justin Jefferson’s mild hamstring strain is going to keep him out long term, the fact that the superstar receiver can’t compete at Vikings training camp is less than ideal.

McCarthy has impressed, Brian Flores' defense looks sharp and there are roster battles aplenty as the Vikings prepare to put pads on Monday.
