Vikings’ Updated Depth Chart
The Minnesota Vikings are right in the thick of the NFC playoff picture. With seven games remaining on the 2018 regular season schedule, each game down the stretch carries an extra little bit of importance.
In terms of the roster, the team was forced to make some early-season adjustments. After losing a starting offensive lineman before the season started, booting a rookie kicker out-of-town after Week 2 and watching a rookie cornerback suffer a season-injury in Week 6, things have started to settle into place.
Brian O’Neill has taken over at guard, Chad Beebe was elevated to the active roster and Ameer Abdullah was recently acquired from the Detroit Lions. Now that the holes on the roster have been filled, the team is assembled for a playoff run. Here’s an updated look at the Vikings’ depth chart:
