EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings tackle Aviante Collins will miss the remainder of the 2018 season after sustaining an elbow injury in practice last week, coach Mike Zimmer announced on Monday.
It's another blow to an offensive line that has dealt with injuries throughout the preseason. Minnesota lost left guard Nick Easton early in training camp after he underwent season-ending neck surgery on Aug. 9. Center Pat Elflein spent the entire preseason on the physically unable to perform list while recovering from offseason shoulder and ankle surgeries, and was inactive for the Vikings' Week 1 win over San Francisco.
