After suffering an injury during training camp last week, it appears that Vikings cornerback Andrew Booth, Jr. may be nearing a return.
ESPN’s Kevin Seifert reported on Saturday that Minnesota Vikings cornerback Andrew Booth, Jr. was on the field during walk-thru, and said that the injury he suffered was “nothing serious.”

While this news is indicative of Booth’s injury being just a minor setback, it does raise concern for the second-year cornerback. He has been battling injury concerns since high school, and there has not been any sign that these battles will cease anytime soon.
Minnesota took a bet on Booth’s talent when he was on the field when they took him 42nd overall in the 2022 NFL draft. But, they have yet to get a return on that investment.
With all of the swings at the cornerback position that they have made since then, from Mekhi Blackmon to working out Ronald Darby, it makes you wonder if the Vikings are starting to raise their concerns about Booth.
