Vikings' Andrew Sendejo: Comes off bench Thursday

Michael Griffin started at safety opposite Harrison Smith in Thursday's preseason win over Seattle. Sendejo had three tackles and a sack off the bench. The competition for the starting safety job opposite Smith will likely be decided late in the preseason, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Sendejo started the first preseason game next to Smith and looked to have a lead on the starting job, but Thursday's game shows the job battle is still in flux.
