Next step for Funderburk, who's feeling great: He's set to go over to St. Paul tomorrow to throw live at-bats. If that goes well, a rehab assignment should soon follow. #MNTwins

Some thoughts from #Vikings OLB Jonathan Greenard. He had a career-high 12 1/2 sacks last year for Houston.

Looking forward to seeing how much production #Vikings rookie pass rusher Dallas Turner offers up this season. Spoke with him in the locker room earlier this week:

Ty Chandler will have more on his plate with the #Vikings this season. He's RB2 behind Aaron Jones and has been named their primary kick returner. He seemed hesitant talking about kick returning, I'm trying to figure out why.

Some thoughts from #Vikings PR/WR Brandon Powell heading into the season opener Sunday at NYG:

#Vikings brought in Waitman to prepare for left-footed punter that #Giants have.

LB Ivan Pace Jr. told me in the #Vikings locker room that LB Blake Cashman will have the green dot on defense for Sunday's game at NYG.

#Vikings CB Byron Murphy Jr. noted that we'll see him playing inside and outside on Sunday vs. NYG:

#Vikings OL Ed Ingram saw some of Chiefs-Ravens last night and the handful of flags thrown on OL. Discussed that with him and facing #Giants stud interior DL Dexter Lawrence.

The #Vikings will have scouting representation at Huntington Bank Stadium tomorrow to watch CB Justin Walley and other #Gophers and Rhode Island Rams.

Alec is such a talented shooter. Easy to see why West and Swinney will both have the opportunity to play at the D-1 level. Swinney off to Cal Football in January.

The #Vikings have director of player personnel Ryan Monnens at this Texas-Michigan game. Lots of #NFL prospects to get a good look at.

Dallas Turner is one of the first #Vikings on the field. The rookie is getting in the zone ahead of his NFL debut.

Vikings rookie Dallas Turner reflecting on his NFL debut today. Not a terrible state line: 3 tackles and a sack.

Just 4 receptions for 59 yards for Justin Jefferson today in win over the Giants. But he had a TD and a deep ball in double coverage from Sam Darnold, and wants his QB to keep having confidence in that throw. "Even when I'm doubled, I'm still open."

MLB debut today for 2016 Maple Grove HS graduate Isaac Collins. Very cool. He was a stud football player too, and could hoop. Pretty good run for Blizzard Baseball seeing Collins and Seth Halvorsen (Rockies) in the last week get the ultimate promotion.

Decent jab. Little slow with the hook. Got potential, Rudy Gobert

Rehab assignment time for Funderburk. On his way to Columbus today to start playing with AAA-Saints tomorrow. #MNTwins

#MNTwins CF Byron Buxton (hip) is sprinting again, will face live pitching pretty soon. Some arms from A-Cedar Rapids are in town to throw live BP to Buxton + others rehabbing. Buck was supposed to rejoin the Twins Fri. in K.C., but had a setback while playing for Saints Wed.

Austin Martin will bat 9th tonight and play LF. Here are some pregame thoughts from him ahead of the series opener vs. the Angels: #MNTwins
