Release of Riley Reiff Could Enable Penei Sewell to Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings have two options on the existing roster at left tackle on their pre-draft depth chart.

For now, head coach Mike Zimmer could take a leap of faith in starting Rashod Hill, a mostly reservist player that has played with the Vikings for five seasons. Hill has started 29% of games during his career. If not Hill (and it probably will not be him as the LT1), Minnesota might turn to Ezra Cleveland, a rookie left tackle from the 2020 NFL Draft. When he was drafted at this time last year, the Vikings already employed Riley Reiff on the roster, so Cleveland was pushed over to the right guard spot.
