Another position group that will have a lot of competition, particularly at the backup spots, is the offensive line. This is another group, like the defensive line, with 16 players chasing about nine roster spots, and a few practice squad spots.
Let’s take a look is similar fashion to the defensive line handicapping I did earlier this week.
The Vikings will open training camp with sixteen offensive linemen on the roster, but only nine (likely) roster spots available.
Of course there are at least a handful of players that are virtual locks to make the roster, which include Riley Reiff, Pat Elflein, Garrett Bradbury, Josh Kline, and Brian O’Neill.
