CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- For a moment, it felt like 2016 all over again.
Instead of losing their offensive linemen one by one like last season, everything seemed to come to a head all at once for the Minnesota Vikings in a 31-24 loss at Carolina.
Ahead of Sunday, the Vikings knew they would be without right tackle Mike Remmers for a fifth straight game. Remmers hasn’t played since late October when he sustained a concussion against the Browns and then injured his lower back in practice two weeks ago, forcing him to miss games against the Falcons and Panthers.
