Pat Elflein To Start Vikings Training Camp On PUP List

Yesterday the Vikings added a bit of offensive line depth to their 90-man camp roster by signing center J.P. Quinn and waiving tight end Josiah Price.

Now we know why.

The team announced on Wednesday morning that Pat Elflein will begin Training Camp on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list. Elflein is still recovering from the fractured ankle he suffered in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Elflein will be required to be cleared by team doctors before returning to camp. Once he is cleared, he is eligible to return to the team immediately.

Of course, this is a less than ideal start for the middle of an offensive line that already had plenty of questions coming…
