The Minnesota Vikings have locked down several starters on their defense but there is still one spot at linebacker that is up for grabs this season.

The 2021 NFL season is rapidly approaching and teams like the Minnesota Vikings will soon have some tough decisions to make concerning their 53-man roster and who will be part of their starting lineups this year.

For the most part, the defense is pretty well settled. Between returning starters and high-profile free-agent signings, all but two of the starting gigs appear to be filled and one of those available spots is at linebacker.
