EAGAN, Minn. – In his last season with the Washington Redskins, Kirk Cousins played behind 36 different offensive line combinations. At the end of his first week of training camp with the Minnesota Vikings, the circumstances with this group were far from perfect.
Down three starters on the O-line -- Pat Elflein, who remains on the PUP list, Mike Remmers (ankle) and Nick Easton (undisclosed) -- Minnesota has been forced to mix up its personnel, leaving Cousins without having taken a snap with the team’s projected Week 1 starting center.
