Training camp is closed today, as the Vikings get Sunday off.  On Monday, they're scheduled to have their usual morning walk-through and, in the afternoon, the first full-pad practice of camp. In the meantime, here are links to some of The Free Press' coverage:

* Lots of eyes are on the Vikings' linebacker corps. Chad Greenway (pictured) is an established Pro Bowler at that position, but other jobs are up for grabs.

* Speaking of linebackers, ex-Packer Desmond Bishop is excited about the opportunity to compete for a job after missing all of last season with a hamstring injury (via The Associated Press).

* In the Training Camp notebook, rookie punter Jeff Locke has been working on holding for kicks, as well as battling some windy conditions at Minnesota State.

* On the news side, The Freep takes a gander at the autograph seekers who also have invaded MSU.

* Photographer Pat Christman has a photo gallery from Day 2 of camp.

* In Monday's paper, be sure to check out a story on Vikings tight end and rising star Kyle Rudolph.
