Trade idea offers Vikings sneaky great plan to rectify area of concern

Good, bad, weird, or otherwise, the injury issues the Minnesota Vikings have had so far this season are well-documented. In particular, their five projected starting offensive lineman have not played a snap together, and just one (right guard Will Fries) has not missed a game (or multiple games, for that matter).

With center Ryan Kelly on injured reserve after suffering two concussions in quick succession, the Vikings will not have that starting five together anytime soon.

Entering Week 9, according to Next Gen Stats (h/t to Alec Lewis of The Athletic), the Vikings have used a league-high 12 offensive line combinations for at least 12 snaps this season.
