Veteran quarterback Cooper Rush will participate in the Minnesota Vikings' rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, joining 56 attendees (23 on tryouts). Rush, 32, has 42 NFL games with a 9-7 record and was released by the Ravens after Tyler Huntley was named primary backup; he previously started eight games for the Cowboys in 2024 and five in 2022.
