Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said in an interview with Rich Eisen on Monday that Dalton Risner will competing for a starting role this season.
Dalton Risner won the Vikings' starting left guard spot shortly after signing last season, but he wasn't brought back for the same role this year. Instead, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell, Risner will "compete" for a guard spot at either left or right guard this season.
"We feel really fortunate to have the talented group around that quarterback position. Both at the skill players, with Justin , Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson coming back and adding Aaron Jones was huge for us to pair with Ty Chandler," O'Connell said of the supporting cast surrounding whoever will start at quarterback for the Vikings.
That means the Vikings will start camp with Brandel as the starting left guard, Ingram as the starting right guard, and Risner will be competing with both to take one of their spots.
