Mekhi Blackmon News: Records five tackles

Blackmon (knee) recorded five tackles (four solo) in Saturday's preseason opener against the Texans.

Blackmon tore his ACL in training camp last summer and missed the entire 2024 season. Now fully recovered, Blackmon led the Vikings in tackles versus Houston, while playing 34 defensive snaps. A third-round pick in 2023, Blackmon is expected to have a significant role in Minnesota's secondary this season.
