Last week, the Vikings lost starting offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw to an ACL and MCL tear that ended his 2024 season. For a Vikings team that saw its offense as the key piece to its success, this was seen as a major loss for the team as a whole.
Kwesi Adofo-Mensah addressed the need by going out and acquiring Jaguars starting left tackle Cam Robinson in a trade. He gave up minimal draft capital and less money than he was owed to be able to rent the tackle for the remainder of 2024 before he hits free agency next Spring.
The former Jaguars arrived in Minnesota this week and practiced with the team Thursday, leaving some questions about his status for Sunday.
Cam Robinson update
Despite only practicing once with the Vikings this week following the trade for him, Robinson will play against the Colts on Sunday night. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the news on Sunday morning.
The Vikings’ starting offensive line is expected to be Cam Robinson, Blake Brandel, Garrett Bradbury, Ed Ingram, and Brian O’Neill.
