Certainly, this does not mandate the Minnesota Vikings will encounter COVID-related stuff before the Week 1 trek to Cincinnati. But it is a cautionary tale on what might happen to the Vikings down the line. This is also applicable to every NFL team.

What's more, the bevy of names that are allegedly unvaccinated doesn't help matters. In the tweet above, Cousins, Thielen, Cook, Smith, and Tomlinson are theorized as unvaccinated (or not-fully vaccinated) players. They would be men subject to the five-day quarantine if any player contracts COVID. Oofta.
Other teams — notably the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons — have purportedly reached a teamwide 100% vaccination rate. In preaching "availability is the best ability," the Buccaneers and Falcons won't have to segregate any players for five days due to COVID. The Vikings have to worry about 12.

All in all, be prepared. The events that happened with the Cowboys over the weekend are not exclusive to the so-called America's Team. COVID can affect any NFL team — and especially the Vikings because of low vaccine engagement.
