Summary
Jalen Redmond delivered the standout play in Minnesota’s final OTA before June 9-11 minicamp, returning a tipped Kyler Murray pass for a defensive score during Thursday’s 2-hour session.
Nolan Teasley attended his first practice as general manager, with coach Kevin O’Connell saying players have attacked spring work with strong intent on scheme, fundamentals and technique.
Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy took most quarterback snaps, with Murray showing anticipation on tight-window throws and McCarthy connecting sharply with Jeshaun Jones, Jauan Jennings and Myles Price.
Special teams also drew attention as Will Reichard hit field goals and punters Johnny Hekker and Brett Thorson worked against five returners, including Price and rookie Demond Claiborne.
The voluntary workout ended the open OTA stretch with roster battles still forming, from the Hekker-Thorson punting competition to Claiborne’s possible path through return duties.
