The Vikings host the Dallas Cowboys tonight in a preseason matchup. The Vikes are 1-and-2 in exhibition play this year.

Vikings Opener vs Atlanta Not Sold Out
The Vikings open the regular season in less than two weeks, but the September 9th game against the Atlanta Falcons is still not sold out.

Jackson has started every preseason game, but [...]

Jackson to Play First Half vs Hawks

Vikings Rookie James Will Play
Vikings defensive end Erasmus James will play in Saturday’s exhibition in Seattle. James, the first-round pick for the Vikes in the 2005 NFL Draft, missed much of last season with a torn ACL in his left knee. He returned to action during the final week of training camp in Mankato. Defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier says [...]
Vikings Sign Former Packers WR Ferguson
Looking to upgrade a rather lackluster wide out core, the Vikings on Tuesday signed former Packers WR Robert Ferguson to a deal. Ferguson was let go by the Pack last week, and with signing with the Vikings right away becomes the most experienced receiver the team has. He also talked to the Houston Texans, but [...]
