Munnerlyn had seven total tackles and played 65 snaps on defense in Sunday's win over Detroit. |
Despite talk in the preseason that he may lose his nickelback role to first-round pick Trae Waynes, Munnerlyn has retained his third cornerback role and will cover slot receivers. |

Munnerlyn (foot) said he would be "ready to roll" for the start of Vikings training camp Sunday, Minneapolis Star-Tribune writer Matt Vensel reports. |
Munnerlyn's level of play dropped as he moved from Carolina to Minnesota last year, but he's still going to compete against Terence Newman and Trae Waynes for a starting spot opposite lead corner Xavier Rhodes. It's more likely that Munnerlyn will settle in as the team's nickel corner, however. |

Munnerlyn hurt his foot last Tuesday and was in a walking boot and missed this week's OTA practices, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. |
Munnerlyn is hopeful he can return for mimicamp in two weeks. He had an MRI on the injury and doesn't need surgery. This injury is likely minor, but it's something to monitor this summer. |

Munnerlyn had four tackles and an interception in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. |
Munnerlyn's tackles are down slightly with the Vikings (4.4 tackles per game compared to 4.6 last year) and he's never had a ton of interceptions (eight in seven seasons). However, he's been strong in pass coverage and a key to Minnesota's secondary. |

Munnerlyn (illness) is listed as probable for Thursday's game in Green Bay, the Vikings' official site reports. |
Munnerlyn was upgraded in each practice this week, finally settling at a full designation Wednesday. With 19 tackles (17 solo) but no other counting stats this season, he's a fair option for IDP defensive backfields. |

Munnerlyn did not practice Monday due to an illness, Master Tesfatsion of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports. |

Wed Jul 30 2014 | 10:13 | Munnerlyn (hamstring) activated from PUP list Wednesday |
Munnerlyn (hamstring) was activated from the PUP list Wednesday. |
Just as coach Mike Zimmer suggested, Munnerlyn's stay on the PUP list only lasted for the first few days of camp. He'll be penciled in for a starting role after coming over from the Panthers in free agency, though he figures to primarily play in the slot during nickel snaps. |

Fri Jul 25 2014 | 12:49 | Vikings CB Munnerlyn opens camp on PUP |
Vikings placed CB Captain Munnerlyn (hamstring) on the active/PUP list. |
Joining him there are TE Chase Ford and S Andrew Sendejo. Munnerlyn isn't expected to be out long after tweaking his hamstring. We'll consider him day-to-day. Munnerlyn will start opposite Xavier Rhodes in the base defense, and likely shift to the slot in sub-packages. He inked a three-year deal in March. |

Thu Mar 13 2014 | 18:03 | Vikings ink CB Munnerlyn to 3-year, $15M deal |
Vikings signed CB Captain Munnerlyn to a three-year contract with a max value of $15 million. |
Munnerlyn is obviously stretched outside at 5-foot-8 and 195 pounds, but he's one of the best slot corners in the game. Still only 26 -- he turns next month -- Munnerlyn turned in a breakout 2013 campaign as a 16-game starter, setting career highs in tackles (74), sacks (3.5), and pass breakups (12). He has four pick sixes over the past two seasons. Look for Munnerlyn to start outside on early downs and cover the slot in Mike Zimmer's nickel package. |

Wed Mar 12 2014 | 23:07 | Panthers yet to make offer to Munnerlyn |
The Panthers have yet to make a contract offer to free agent Captain Munnerlyn. |
The Panthers are either perfectly content to let Munnerlyn walk, or let the market establish his value, as they did in 2013. Munnerlyn has visits lined up with the Vikings, Bucs and Jets, and appears unlikely to return to Carolina. |

Wed Mar 12 2014 | 20:25 | FA Munnerlyn also has visits with Jets, Bucs |
The Charlotte Observer reports free agent CB Captain Munnerlyn will visit the Jets and Bucs after the Vikings. |
That's if Munnerlyn gets away from the Vikings, who are in dire need of cornerback help -- especially a nickel corner like Munnerlyn. With a number of the top corners off the market, guys like Munnerlyn should start getting more play. |

The Jets have inquired about free agent CB Captain Munnerlyn. |
With Darrelle Revis in Tampa and Antonio Cromartie on the street, a position of strength has become a position of need for Rex Ryan. The Jets appear ready to open up their wallets, as they've also been linked to Alterraun Verner. |

Free agent CB Captain Munnerlyn is expected to reach free agency. |
Munnerlyn is coming off a career year, but the cap-strapped Panthers are going to let the market dictate his value. Reporter Joseph Person believes he could ultimately re-sign with Carolina on a team-friendly deal. Munnerlyn was an every-down player in 2013, but kicked inside in nickel packages. |

Sat Feb 15 2014 | 15:17 | Saints could have interest in Captain Munnerl |
ESPN.com's Mike Triplett lists free agent CB Captain Munnerlyn as a possible target of the Saints. |
The Saints are in need of a No. 2 corner behind Keenan Lewis and could look to steal away Munnerlyn from the Panthers. New Orleans currently lacks depth at cornerback after cutting Jabari Greer and may still release Patrick Robinson as a salary-cap casualty. Munnerlyn is expected to begin contract talks with Carolina at the Combine next week and could be re-signed before free agency. |

Fri Feb 14 2014 | 17:31 | Panthers to meet with CB Munnerlyn next week |
Free agent CB Captain Munnerlyn says his agent is scheduled to meet with team officials at the combine next week. |
Munnerlyn was the best player in Carolina's defensive backfield in 2013, playing in all 16 games and grading out as PFF's No. 11 corner. He figures to be seeking a multi-year deal after playing last season on a one-year contract and could be re-signed before testing free agency. The Panthers are also expected to make re-signing FS Mike Mitchell a priority this offseason. |

Tue Jan 14 2014 | 08:59 | Captain Munnerlyn open to a one-year deal |
Impending free agent CB Captain Munnerlyn said he'd be open to a one-year deal from the Panthers if the price is right. |
The Carolinas are home for Munnerlyn as he played his college ball at South Carolina and then was drafted by the Panthers in the seventh round of the 2009 draft. He finally put it all together this season, starting every game and grading out as PFF's No. 11 corner while playing on a one-year, $1.1 million contract. Munnerlyn needs to strike while the iron is hot, so don't expect his agent to be giving out any hometown discounts. |
