Access Vikings morning walkthrough: Teddy thinks Rudolph is reliable, local Vikings hype gets mocked and more

On most mornings, we walk you through what's going on with the Vikings.

WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED

— Kyle Rudolph is often in the right place at the right time. That's why Teddy Bridgewater will often be looking the tight end's way in big spots.

— Rookie wide receiver Stefon Diggs made his mark Sunday night with a long punt return. Afterward, he was quick to credit his blockers.

— Diggs wasn't the only rookie who met the hype. So did MyCole Pruitt. There's that and four of other takeaways from the Hall of Fame Game.

— Reusse being Reusse: "Teddy Bridgewater was close to flawless as a rookie last year, and now he's stronger, quicker, more accurate, a better leader, plus he has virtual reality and a new pair of gloves with magical powers. Don't look back, Aaron Rodgers … someone is gaining on you."

AROUND THE NFC NORTH

— While Bears top draft pick Kevin White did some running yesterday, the rookie wide receiver is still a ways away from returning to practice.

— The Packers released rookie punter Cody Mandell, signaling an end to the short-lived camp competition with veteran Tim Masthay.
