Training camp has broken up in Mankato, Minn., but the Vikings have yet to settle on who will fill in for RCB Cedric Griffin, who will not be in the lineup in the season opener at New Orleans.

Allen made progress as a rookie late in the season and reportedly has made big strides this offseason. Still, there are some who believe Sheppard, given his experience, will get the starting nod when the games count in the standings.
