Vikings - Ravens, Joint Practice 1 & Dallas Turner is Everywhere

Vikings-Ravens Joint Practice Day 1 Takeaways: Turner’s Dominance, QB Struggles, and Defensive Standouts — Tyler Forness and producer Dave Stefano recap the Minnesota Vikings’ first joint practice with the Baltimore Ravens. Visibility on the offense was limited, but both Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy struggled with interceptions before each led a strong two-minute drive (Murray to Justin Jefferson on a deep over; McCarthy to Myles Price on a deep post). The run game looked solid. Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer saw limited action, with Brosmer’s thumb continuing to improve. The clear story of the day was Brian Flores’ aggressive, cohesive defense dominating Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley, led by Dallas Turner’s multiple pressure wins. Other standouts included Elijah Williams (TFLs, coverage drops, and growing first-team consideration) and Jay Ward. Additional notes cover a scuffle involving Da’Veawn Armstead, Caleb Banks flashes, Ivan Pace Jr.’s improvement in space, and a discussion of Harrison Smith’s Hall of Fame case.
