Vikings sticking with Blair Walsh at kicker for now
The Minnesota Vikings have not been satisfied with Blair Walsh at kicker this season, but they are planning to stick with him for now, according to a report.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter says that although the Vikings worked out several kickers on Tuesday, they are not replacing Walsh.

Walsh is 12 of 16 on field goals, which places him 24th in the league in percentage. He also has missed three extra points.
Not only is Walsh having a poor season for Minnesota, but fans still have a negative feeling towards him over the 27-yard kick he missed last season in the playoffs that would have eliminated Seattle. Between last season and this, Minnesota would likely prefer to move on from Walsh … if they could find a better replacement for him.
