The first week of the NFL regular season is rapidly approaching, with this weekend marking the end of a shortened preseason. In that week 1 matchup, the Vikings are slotted to travel to Cincinnati and play the Bengals. One question mark surrounding Minnesota’s first opponent has been the availability of 2020’s first overall pick, QB Joe Burrow.
Burrow of course suffered a torn ACL last season in a week 11 game against the Washington Football Team. Burrow’s offensive line was infamously bad for the rookie QB, allowing him to be sacked 32 times in less than 10 games, and the injury was a result of a punishing sack delivered by DROY Chase Young.
