Mailbag: Contingency plans for the Vikings' offensive line, backfield snaps and more

Every Friday morning, we’ll answer Twitter and email questions submitted for these mailbags and our twice-a-week Access Vikings podcasts. Check out the latest podcast here previewing Sunday’s game in Green Bay.

Q: Could we possibly see Pat Elflein being benched for Brett Jones? — @leecvn72

AK: I would not expect this, especially as Brett Jones continues to take snaps at center (not guard) during the open portions of practices. Jones played almost exclusively center throughout training camp and the preseason (117 of 131 snaps) for the Vikings, who clearly view him as more of a center than guard in this system.
