The Vikings expect right tackle Brian O'Neill, safety Lewis Cine and cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. — all recovering from surgeries — to be ready for training camp this summer.
On Thursday at TCO Performance Center, head coach Kevin O'Connell and executive director of player health and performance Tyler Williams provided updates on the three players who have rehabbed at team facilities this offseason. Cine, the 2022 first-round pick from Georgia who suffered compound fractures to his tibia and fibula on Oct. 2 in London, could be ready for spring practices with new defensive coordinator Brian Flores.
"We're looking at ... some time in the third week or so of May," O'Connell said of Cine's return. "We'll take a pretty similar [OTA schedule] to what we did last year. We're talking about some things with a new defensive scheme [that] we'll try to do to help accelerate that. The hope is we'll have Lew for the start of that process."
