The Vikings have reduced the three-game suspension of special teams coach Mike Priefer because he completed diversity training.
The team released this statement tonight:
The Minnesota Vikings will reinstate Special Teams Coordinator Mike Priefer effective Monday, September 15. The decision by Vikings ownership follows extensive conversations with the independent professional consultants retained to conduct individualized anti-harassment, diversity and sexual orientation training with Coach Priefer. Those consultants have conveyed to the team that Coach Priefer was fully and thoughtfully engaged throughout the process and successfully completed the program. Details within the settlement agreement pertaining to the actions by the team remain confidential.
Joe Marciano coached the Vikings special teams during Priefer's absence.
