MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – As if things weren’t bad enough for the Minnesota Vikings’ offensive line, with starting center Pat Elflein and right guard Mike Remmers unable to practice, now left guard Nick Easton is out for the season due to surgery to correct a bulging disc in his neck.
The team’s already shorthanded offensive line is now even shorter. Meanwhile, coaches are shuffling players around to try and find a workable mix.
“We’re always trying different things, looking for different people,” said head coach Mike Zimmer. “So we’ll see what happens.”
With Elflein on the PUP list and Easton out, former practice squad member Cornelius Edison is now the team’s starting center.
