Cornerback Captain Munnerlyn started all 16 games last year but that streak likely will end when Vikings open the 2015 the regular season.
Wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson was featured in a "Rising Stars" series by Sports Illustrated before last season, but now might have a hard time getting on the field.
The reason?
"I think we have a deeper football team this year than we did a year ago," Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said.
The Vikings have enough talent on the roster now that some notable players will see less playing time than before.
