Vikings place LT Matt Kalil on IR

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
