After losing both starting tackles for the year by Week 3 and seeing each of the interior offensive linemen go down at different times during the 2016 season, the Minnesota Vikings made improving O-line depth a top priority of the offseason.
That depth was on display Friday night in Seattle. Neither starting lineman on the left side, tackle Riley Reiff and guard Alex Boone, suited up against the Seahawks, which forced the Vikings to start Rashod Hill and Nick Easton in their respective positions.
The makeshift first-team line did not give up a sack and sprung running back Dalvin Cook for 40 yards on just seven carries.
