Andre Smith, T.J. Clemmings still battling for Vikings' right tackle spot

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings' starting right tackle job -- which has at times looked like it was headed toward Andre Smith -- might not be decided yet.

Coach Mike Zimmer said last week the Vikings still wanted to look at different combinations on their offensive line, and though Smith started on Friday night against his former team in Cincinnati, he's been alternating first-team snaps with T.J. Clemmings in the Vikings' two practices since then. Smith, who allowed Teddy Bridgewater to be pressured once on Friday night, was back with the first-team offense on Monday, but offensive coordinator Norv Turner said he didn't think the job was settled.
