Vikings linebacker Kyle Van Noy seeks local food recommendations before season opener

Minnesota Vikings newcomer Kyle Van Noy requested local food recommendations from fans via social media on September 6, 2026. The veteran outside linebacker joined the Vikings practice squad on September 2, 2026, following the season-ending injury of Tyler Batty. Van Noy brings 12 years of NFL experience to a defense coached by Brian Flores, with whom he previously worked in New England and Miami. The Vikings are scheduled to open their 2026 season against the Green Bay Packers on September 13, 2026, at U.S. Bank Stadium. The team currently holds him on the practice squad while he adjusts to the defensive scheme and works toward optimal football shape. His potential participation in the game against the Packers remains undecided as the team evaluates his readiness.
