The Rise of Risner

Source: Vikings re-signing guard Dalton Risner to one-year deal

Again today, the biggest Vikings’ news is the return of guard Dalton Risner. We thought the Vikings were going to roll with Blake Brandel as the incumbent, but it looks like Risner is back to pick up where he left off. But, The Vikings clearly still like Brandel, as they re-signed him on a three year contract this offseason. The two guards will have to duke it out for the starting position... That is, unless the Vikings are planning to switch out Risner for Ed Ingram. That seems unlikely, but perhaps Risner is just an insurance policy incase Ingram or Brandel go awry.
