Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman Jaylen Twyman, who was shot four times in June, will report for training camp along with other rookies Sunday, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Twyman is expected to start camp on the non-football injury list, but the 22-year-old believes he'll be able to play at some point early this season.

"He's really excited," Rosenhaus said of his client.

Twyman was in his car during a trip to Washington, D.C. to visit his family when he was shot. He suffered injuries Rosenhaus previously described as "superficial, exit wounds."

Minnesota selected the Pittsburgh product in the sixth round of this year's draft.
