EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — It’s clear that competition is brewing at many positions on both sides of the ball halfway through Vikings organized team activity practices.
Minnesota participated in the club’s fifth OTA practice, and Vikings coordinators followed Wednesday’s session by speaking with members of the media.
Offensive Coordinator Norv Turner said the Vikings have a “good mix” on the offensive line.
“I think it’s an area where we can improve greatly, and I think it will show up for our entire team,” Turner said.
After overcoming season-ending injuries to starting center John Sullivan and right tackle Phil Loadholt in the preseason, the Vikings started the same five linemen every game in 2015, and the group helped pave the way for the league’s leading rusher, Adrian Peterson.
