Center has become somewhat of a problematic position for the Minnesota Vikings over the past few weeks. Not having center Garrett Bradbury has made things problematic for quarterback Kirk Cousins.
After the injury suffered to center Austin Schlottmann, the Vikings signed veteran Greg Mancz to fortify their depth at the position. What raised some eyebrows is what happened during media availability of Friday’s practice. Mancz was snapping to Cousins and Chris Reed snapping to backup quarterback Nick Mullens.
During the part of early warmups I saw, QB Kirk Cousins was taking snaps from new center Greg Mancz. Backup Nick Mullens was working with C Chris Reed. I don't know what that could mean, if anything, but we'll have access to coach Kevin O'Connell later this afternoon.

As ESPN’s Kevin Seifer opined about, I also don’t know that means, but it is something that could end up impacting the Vikings playoff run.
