It looks like Blake Brandel will be the Vikings’ new left guard after all

If you, like many Minnesota Vikings fans, are waiting for news of a reunion between the team and offensive lineman Dalton Risner, it appears that you might not want to hold your breath on that.

Vikings’ offensive coordinator Wes Phillips spoke to the media on Thursday afternoon and made it clear that the team fully expects Blake Brandel to be the team’s starting left guard in 2024.

Here’s the full quote from Phillips:

I’m really excited about Blake. I feel like he gets bigger every time I see him. He’s just a massive man on the inside, but he’s in great shape and he’s always been very coachable.
