EAGAN Kyler Murray Jersey , Minn. — Rashod Hill might not take part in the joint practices with the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Minnesota Vikings this week because of a minor injury.Perhaps, then, he’ll have a brief moment to reflect on his progressing career, considering the presence on the same field of his former and current team. An undrafted practice squad player with the Jaguars just two years ago, Hill has become a key cog on a championship contender as the front runner at right tackle.More Vikings coveragePhotos of the Week: 7/21/19 – 7/27/19Rookie Bradbury is central figure to Vikings’ overhauled offensive lineVikings depth at cornerback being tested, Hughes still not clearedPlayers to watch at Minnesota Vikings 2019 training campTop Tweets: Vikings WR Diggs makes push for All-NFL Style TeamStanding 6-foot-6 with a mobile 315-pound frame sure helps, but he never would have made it this far without the willingness to learn and a determination to work that helped give the Vikings confidence Hill can be a quality NFL starter.“He’s an extremely athletic guy that has been getting better and better,” coach Mike Zimmer said. “Sometimes later in the game his concentration leaves him a little bit, so that’s where we’ll have to extend him more plays so he gets used to doing those things. He’s done a really nice job. He’s moving well in the running game. When he sets good in the passing game, he’s really hard to get around. He’s done some good things.”Zimmer made those comments on Monday, before Hill rolled his ankle in practice in a tangle with nose tackle Linval Joseph and was taken away on a cart. Hill returned to the field that afternoon and said afterward the injury was not a concern, but he was held out on Tuesday.The Jaguars, who signed Hill out of Southern Mississippi in 2016, join the Vikings for practices on Wednesday and Thursday before their exhibition game at U.S. Bank Stadium on Saturday.“I’m looking forward to seeing them,” Hill said.The Jaguars were second in the league with 55 sacks last season and second behind the Vikings in both fewest yards and points allowed, so they’ll provide a valuable test for the work-in-progress Vikings offensive line this week. The challenge will not include defensive end Dante Fowler, the third overall pick in the 2015 draft http://www.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-dawson-knox-jersey , because he’s being kept home as punishment for fighting with fellow defensive end Yannick Ngakoue .“Guys just bought into the program, and I knew they were going to take off,” Hill said, assessing the Jaguars defense.Hill, who was on the practice squad with the Jaguars when the Vikings signed him away a little more than halfway through the 2016 season, started seven games last year including both matchups in the playoffs.The Vikings are down both starting guards from 2017, with Joe Berger retired and Nick Easton sidelined by a likely season-ending neck injury, so they moved right tackle Mike Remmers to right guard. There’s an obvious need on the interior, but the Vikings surely wouldn’t have switched Remmers if they weren’t sold on Hill’s ability to man that critical position.Hill already had a setback earlier in training camp with a sudden stomach illness that kept him out of action for a few days, but he said he has gained back all the weight he lost and started practice on Monday at 317 pounds, in the range of his ideal size.“We’re just happy he’s back and feeling better,” offensive coordinator John DeFilippo said last week. “You’ll see his stamina continue to grow as we go along.” LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — It hasn’t been a streak of accuracy on a level with Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees or Tom Brady. Nevertheless, Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has eliminated interceptions over his past three starts.Whether Trubisky can continue making good decisions and throws in his first playoff game at Soldier Field against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles could go a long way toward determining if the Bears’ season continues.“I think I’ve gotten better through the course of the season,” Trubisky said, “just continuing to make adjustments http://www.giantsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dexter-lawrence-jersey , making those split-second decisions and just continue to get better and be critical of myself when I don’t and learn from those mistakes.”Trubisky suffered through a difficult three-interception game in the Bears’ 15-6 win over the Los Angeles Rams, when he returned from a two-game absence because of a shoulder injury.After a third-quarter interception, Bears coach Matt Nagy went entirely to the ground game the rest of the way. Since then, Trubisky has become deadly accurate and clutch.“He just handles adversity,” Nagy said. “He knows how to run this offense now. He’s at a point right now where when he calls a play in the huddle, he can start looking at the defense rather than looking at the offense.”Trubisky went 63 of 83 for 644 yards with three touchdown passes and no interceptions for a passer rating of 109.7 in wins over the Packers, 49ers and Vikings.Nagy called it a matter of coaches figuring out what plays and formations Trubisky performs best and knows best.“I think he’s finally starting to really understand who we are becoming as an identity within this offense,” Nagy said.So Nagy has some advice for Trubisky heading into his first postseason game, as the Bears try to take advantage of an Eagles pass defense ranked 30th in the NFL.“To not change, for him to continue to do just what he does,” Nagy said. “Last week, he had a little bit of a test of it, and I thought he did a great job handling the situation.”The 24-10 win at Minnesota on Sunday featured some of Trubisky’s best play on third down. He accounted for seven third-down conversions. And he did it against the NFL’s best third-down defense.“We all have our trust in him,” running back Tarik Cohen said. “We’ve seen him make the best of plays when times didn’t look so bright. Just the things he can do with the ball, his arm and including his feet, it’s amazing to watch.”Trubisky’s running ability on third down has been a big key. He has run for 421 yards this season and acknowledges he’s even surprised by his own ability to escape the pocket at times.“I always try to have eyes in the back of my head, have my head on a swivel http://www.arizonacardinalsteamonline.com/zach-allen-jersey , take care of the football and make smart decisions,” he said. “But it’s pretty cool in some situations you can escape from.”Tight end Trey Burton played for the Super Bowl champion Eagles last year and sees Trubisky’s second-year development on a course similar to Philadelphia quarterback Carson Wentz in his second season in 2017.Burton reeled off a list of Trubisky’s recent improvements.“Some of the throws he’s been able to make,” Burton said, “some of the plays he’s gotten us into from an offensive standpoint, some of the times when teams are blitzing and the way he’s able to scramble, some of the intangibles that not too many guys have in this league, I mean you see him show up.”Trubisky’s development came about after plenty of self-criticism, especially after the Rams game.“Those are great learning experiences,” Trubisky said. “And those were instances where I just came back was critical of myself, watched the film and really figured out how I could change my mindset and do a better job in practice during the week just getting prepared.”The baby-faced Trubisky is sporting a playoff beard these days, as are all the Bears quarterbacks. It took a while, though. He started growing it the first week of the season.It seems an unusual time to start thinking playoffs.“I had faith,” Trubisky said.The same could be said for Nagy’s belief in his quarterback’s development in the face of sporadic criticism. Now he has a quarterback not turning over the ball and converting third downs.“When you do those things big picture-wise, you’re in good shape,” Nagy said.NOTES: S Eddie Jackson (ankle) and OLB Aaron Lynch (elbow) did not practice after missing the last two games. … WRs Taylor Gabriel (ribs), Anthony Miller (shoulder) and Allen Robinson II (ribs) and G Kyle Long (ankle) all went through a full practice.
