MINNEAPOLIS -- The Vikings started the widely-expected makeover of their offensive line Friday, releasing guards Brandon Fusco and Mike Harris.
Fusco, who signed a five-year contract extension with the team the day before the start of the 2014 season, tore a pectoral muscle during the Vikings' third game that year and never seemed to be the same in his two years with the team after the injury. He struggled during an ill-fated move to left guard in 2015, and continued to have issues on the right side in 2016, when he also missed two games because of concussions.
