Patrick Peterson - One tackle in Vikings debut Peterson had one tackle and allowed three receptions on four targets for 75 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Bengals according to Pro Football Focus.

Impact Peterson wasn't too busy in his Minnesota debut, as the Bengals targeted a struggling Bashaud Breeland eight times. Peterson doesn't have the same coverage skills as during his prime in Arizona, but he gives Minnesota an upgrade over last year's shaky secondary.

Blake Lynch - Two tackles Sunday Lynch had two total tackles in Sunday's overtime loss to the Bengals.

Impact Lynch played 16 snaps on defense and allowed a catch on the only throw targeted at him. Lynch will likely get most of his playing time on special teams as a reserve linebacker as he didn't see much action from scrimmage even with Anthony Barr out.

Camryn Bynum - Two tackles in pro debut Bynum had two total tackles in Sunday's overtime loss at Cincinnati.

Impact Bynum played all 23 of his snaps on special teams, so the 2021 fourth-round draft pick will have a deep depth role on defense to begin the season.

Evan McPherson - Perfect in NFL debut McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and was successful on all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Vikings.

Impact McPherson was selected by the Bengals in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and the rookie converted all five of his kicks in his first professional game. The 22-year-old made a 53-yard attempt early in the fourth quarter before drilling a game-winning 33-yard field goal as time expired in overtime. McPherson also made all five of his field-goal attempts during the preseason.

Kris Boyd - Three tackles Sunday Boyd had three total tackles in Sunday's overtime loss at Cincinnati.

Impact Boyd played just eight snaps on defense in his reserve role in the secondary. Boyd emerged as a starter last season before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in December. He could have a larger role if Bashaud Breeland continues to struggle in pass coverage.
