Another week, another change in Vikings defensive end D.J. Wonnum's outlook with the team as the versatile but raw defender likely finds himself in the starting lineup again following Danielle Hunter's season-ending injury.
Wonnum opened the season as the starter opposite Hunter after winning a training camp competition with Stephen Weatherly, who was traded last month to Denver. But after four starts, defensive end Everson Griffen had taken the job back with stellar play from a proven veteran. Wonnum's ongoing development has been in the background, until now.
"It has definitely been a lot of learning curves," said Wonnum, who has one sack.
