Mike Zimmer refreshed to rebuild Vikings defense

It's hard to think of a time under the Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman regime that the Vikings have gone through the offseason with more certainty around the offensive side of the ball than the defensive side.

But that will be the case when the Vikings open their season.

Looking at the Vikings depth chart from the 27-10 playoff loss at San Francisco, the bulk of the talent on offense is set to return in 2020.

Kirk Cousins, Dalvin Cook, C.J. Ham, Adam Thielen, Kyle Rudolph, Riley Reiff, Pat Elflein, Garrett Bradbury and Brian O'Neill are all returning.
