These couple of moves with our IR'd guys.

As I suspected, Najee Thompson was moved to IR...we'll have to see if he stays there all season, or if they release him with an injury settlement.  I remember years ago where one of the WRs ended up spending most, if not all, of the season on IR with a fractured thumb.  He was healthy about 4 weeks into the season, if I remember correctly.

along with naming Team Captains for this year (posted in the 53 man roster thread), the Vikings also unveiled a Captain Legacy installation featuring Jim Marshall.

 

Just as Marshall's teammates continue to look up to him, current and future Vikings will be able to look to Marshall for inspiration through the installation of the "Jim Marshall Vikings Captains Legacy" display.

The wall display is the first and final thing players see as they walk through the hallway from their parking lot to the locker room. It features a tribute to Marshall, a listing of all season-long captains since the inaugural 1961 season and a photo of the 2024 captains, who were announced Wednesday by Vikings Head Coach Kevin O'Connell.

O'Connell filmed a special message to inform Marshall of the installation and recorded a separate video explaining the team's desire to connect Marshall's legacy with current leaders.

"It was really important as we get ready to announce this year's captains to find a way to honor the greatest captain in the history of our organization, Jim Marshall, a 14-time captain," said O'Connell, who enjoyed weekly in-season lunches with Hall of Fame Coach Bud Grant before Grant's passing in spring 2023.
