Vikings receivers savor tips from Randy Moss, get stiff tests from Ravens defense at joint practices

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — MINNESOTA VIKINGS wide receiver Myles Price has dazzled during training camp, earning praise for his standout performances. The second-year player, drafted in 2024, has become a reliable pass-catcher and route-runner, making numerous impressive catches during public practices. One notable catch occurred when J.J.

McCarthy threw a two-minute drill pass, which Price snagged in traffic, sealing a joint practice with the Baltimore Ravens. A notable visitor who has been lending Price guidance is Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss. Moss, currently in Minnesota as a guest of the Vikings, has been sitting in on position group meetings, spending time with players, and observing dual workouts with the Ravens.

Price expressed his admiration for Moss, stating that he felt honored to receive tips from the legendary player. Vikings quarterback J.T. Jefferson also seemed to be benefiting from Moss's insights, as he mentioned that Moss's extensive knowledge is "endless." Jefferson credited Moss with providing invaluable advice on improving his route-running and overall receiver skills.

Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell, who previously played alongside Moss in New England, intentionally sought the Hall of Famer's presence to guide the team. O'Connell remarked that Moss has been more forthcoming with him since joining the Vikings compared to their playing days together. Meanwhile, the Ravens have had to adjust their defensive strategies following the injury of linebacker Danny Pinter, who will be out for an extended period due to tearing his patellar tendon.

Pinter's absence has forced coaches to find alternatives to bolster their roster, with rookies Jovaughn Gwyn and Ethan Pocic vying for the starting center position.
