Vikings rookie safety Jacob Thomas is making waves—undrafted from James Madison, he’s earning first-team reps after a standout preseason interception. With Jamal Adams sidelined and Harrison Smith’s future uncertain, Thomas is in the mix to fill the safety void alongside Josh Metellus. Meanwhile, first-round pick Caleb Banks is still finding his groove, struggling early against the run but eager to improve. Joint practices with the Ravens loom as a critical test for both rookies—Thomas to prove he’s ready to contribute, Banks to show growth after injury setbacks. The Vikings’ depth at safety—and Banks’ development—could be pivotal as the season heats up.
