As starting guard Ezra Cleveland limped off the field, Dalton Risner jogged on to make his Vikings debut.
He played 10 snaps Sunday against the Chicago Bears. That's 10 more than safety Lewis Cine, the Vikings' first-round draft pick in 2022, played, even though Cine was listed as uninjured before the game.
The harsh reality of Justin Jefferson's hamstring injury and the wild speculation about Kirk Cousins' future have dominated headlines of late, but a major factor in the Vikings' 2023 struggles has been the lack of depth and quality on their roster.
They are 2-4 for a reason.
