8 tackles the Vikings can sign with the loss of Brian O’Neill

The Vikings could be in dire straits without O’Neill

The Minnesota Vikings are starting to test the depth they have on the offensive line after losing both center Austin Schlottmann (ankle) and right tackle Brian O’Neill (calf) to injuries in the first quarter against the Green Bay Packers.

The one that stings the most is O’Neill. He is one of the best tackles in the NFL and his loss was obvious on the field as Oli Udoh is not who you want starting next to Ed Ingram. We will know more later this week, as he will be having an MRI on his calf.

If O’Neill is going to be out for an extended time, the Vikings might want to look elsewhere for an option at right tackle. Here are eight options that the Vikings could turn to with O’Neill’s status in doubt.
