That might actually be an upgrade. Matt Kalil is hot garbage.

Vikings placed LT Matt Kalil on injured reserve with a hip injury.

Kalil isn't as big of a loss as Teddy Bridgewater (knee) or Adrian Peterson (knee), but he plays a premium position and will be hard to replace, even if Kalil has been a bust as the former No. 4 overall pick. Look for 2015 fourth-rounder T.J. Clemmings to step in after making all 17 starts at right tackle as a rookie. Clemmings was PFF's No. 63 overall tackle out of 76 qualifiers in 2015.

Clemmings has looked better but a switch from right to left was done this season. It's going to be rough.

No Kalil bragging rights on the line now, just Charles Johnson vs. Charles Johnson

Zimmer said TJ Clemmings will play OT. If I had to use 1 word to associate TJ Clemmings, I'd say Skates. He had a talent for getting pushed backwards at the 2015 Senior Bowl and the few times I saw the Vikes play, he was getting pushed backwards at RT. Just wonder if Andre Smith will stay at RT or move to LT

Kalil is PFF's 65th ranked OT this year. That's either dead last or 2nd to last.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Been here since middle school right when it started around 2003 after the charlotte.com one. Living outside of Carolina it was tough to find good Panthers content, news or analysis. And no one to talk to about it. This place gave me a lot though I don’t often post. In the later days, I particularly Loved PhillyB’s write ups. They were fire. Too bad I go let it go. I appreciate the hell out of @MHS831 @TheSpecialJuan @Jackie Lee and others who have been posting great content and keeping this place worth coming back to. Particularly during the offseason. Appreciate y’all!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Nice explanation, but I was just messing with you. Thought that would be obvious. I dont have the energy to keep on trolling. Last season I compared our situation with Bryce as a potential Alex Smith, but what we should be looking for is our version of Mahomes. Some people will read that as one sentence, to me that single sentence is equivalent to a half A4 explanationf of the teams pathway forward.

      I dont know how much of his salary would come across and how much a trade would cost but I feel Kmet would be the sort of TE Canales and Morgan would like
