It's looking likely that Darrisaw will be out again on Thursday. There were several question marks as to why the Vikings shuffled around 3 OL positions (Udoh to LT, Bradbury to C, Cole to RG) instead of just plugging in Hill back at LT and leaving Cole at C and Udo at RG.

It will be interesting to see what OL lineup they use on Thursday night....

I imagine they're going to stick with the configuration we saw on Sunday. If not, perhaps they bench Udoh for Hill and just keep Bradbury at C and Cole at RG. What's clear is that Cole will be a starter the rest of the year whether at center or guard.

Also, obligatory reminder that Cole got zero snaps at RG during training camp / preseason! (They seriously had no idea what they were doing on the OL, as Udoh didn't even know he was going to play guard until the first day of training camp).

Vikings' front office announces expanded duties for Coach Zimmer with supplemental role added to his title on Monday:

Gallman did a solid job replacing Barkley in 2020 for the Giants (682 yards 6 TDs, 4.6 YPA), but he then failed to make the 49ers team in the preseason, got claimed by Atlanta, and they ditched him for a PS running back. PFF has him as an above average runner, but subpar receiving back.

I wonder if they'll use him ahead of Nwangwu due to his experience, but I wouldn't be surprised if they sneak him to the PS once Mattison is healthy. Also, I think it does speak to the team's lack of confidence in PS RB A.J. Rose. He had a fun preseason, but no team has tried to poach him and the Vikings haven't promoted him once.

With Westbrook out, they may opt to trust Shepherd since he's had some return experience with the Packers. Ratley was a 5th WR for the Browns for a couple years and didn't do much. Hopefully Jefferson and Osborn can stay healthy...

Well that's great news, Dakota Dozier is back on the roster because Wyatt Davis can't be trusted and they wouldn't bother to search for a better backup... and then AJ Rose is cut when our RB depth is not the best. It seems the Vikings think little of Rose despite his strong preseason, and no other team tried to claim him.
