Vikings' Andrew Sendejo: Appears set to keep starting safety role

Sendejo appears set to begin the season as the starter at safety next to Harrison Smith, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He had three tackles and defended a pass in Sunday's preseason win over San Diego.

Analysis:

The report makes it seem like Sendejo is a lock, but head coach Mike Zimmer told ESPN 1500 am Twin Cities that he hasn't made a decision. However, the competition could be moot with Michael Griffin leaving Sunday's game with a back injury.
