The Vikings announced the cancellation on Tuesday, two days after the 56-year-old’s death. Sparano died of arteriosclerotic heart disease, or hardening of the arteries, according to the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office.
The service will take place in the Twin Cities area http://www.greenbaypackersteamonline.com/dean-lowry-jersey , where Sparano and his wife moved in 2016 when he was hired by the Vikings. The team had only one workout scheduled for Friday morning for rookies and other selected players. The entire squad will have its first full practice of training camp together on Saturday.
Instead of flowers, the Sparano family has requested donations be made to the American Heart Association.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos made a series of roster moves Wednesday in advance of their joint practice with the Chicago Bears. They claimed wide receiver DeAndrew White off waivers from Houston and signed defensive lineman DeQuinton Osborne.
In corresponding moves, the Broncos waived/injured wide receiver Corey “Philly” Brown http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/jordan-poyer-jersey , who sustained a head injury in the weight room shortly after his recent arrival, and defensive lineman Paul Boyette.
White is a fourth-year pro who has appeared in six games with the 49ers (2015) and Texans (2017) while also spending time on the Patriots‘ practice squad and offseason roster from 2016-17. He has three career catches and six kickoff returns.
Osborne is a 300-pound rookie from Oklahoma State University, where he registered 56 tackles, 38 of them solo http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/quintin-demps-jersey , with 9½ sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery in two seasons after transferring from Kilgore Junior College.
An All-Big 12 Conference First Team selection in 2017, Osborne entered the NFL as a college free agent with Dallas on April 30.
