The Vikings thought they had a reliable kicking option in Kaare Vedvik, the newcomer acquired from Baltimore this month for a fifth-round draft pick.
But his rocky performance in the third preseason game has done little to reassure coach Mike Zimmer.
Vedvik missed both his field-goal attempts in a 20-9 win against Arizona. Afterward, Zimmer would only say his concern is “high” regarding Vedvik. Special teams coordinator Marwan Maalouf was more direct. He called it “unacceptable.”
The Vikings play their final preseason game Thursday night at Buffalo.
