Five games into the 2018 season, it’s pretty clear that the offensive line is the weakest part of the offense for the Minnesota Vikings.
It’s a unit that has been marred by injuries (Nick Easton and Pat Elflein) and one that has struggled to both pass block and run block. Minnesota’s offensive line looked a little better in Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but the unit still has a long way to go before it is able even be considered satisfactory.
One thing the Vikings’ offensive line has been lacking this year has been depth. Before the regular season even began, Minnesota had already lost Easton and backup Aviante Collins for the entire year due to injuries.
