Third-year center Garrett Bradbury went from starting 41 straight games for the Vikings to suddenly testing positive for COVID-19 and, at least temporarily, losing his starting job.
Bradbury tested positive Nov. 4, missing the Ravens and Chargers games. He was replaced by Mason Cole, who played well enough to keep the starting job over Bradbury the next two games. Bradbury returned against the Lions and Steelers when an injury prompted Cole to move to guard, but Bradbury could be heading back to the bench again.
"It's been a roller coaster, I'll be honest," Bradbury said Thursday.
