A few days ago, we talked about how it looked like the Minnesota Vikings were satisfied to turn the duties at left guard over to Blake Brandel, a sentiment that seemed to be echoed by no less a source than offensive coordinator Wes Phillips.
Well, it appears that if Brandel is going to be the starter at left guard, he’s going to have to earn it by beating out the incumbent.
The #Vikings have agreed to terms with LG Dalton Risner, a source says. @AdamSchefter was on it.
