Vikings look at veteran guard Dalton Risner but don't sign him

The Vikings brought guard Dalton Risner to Eagan for a visit Tuesday, though the former Broncos starter left the Twin Cities without a deal appearing imminent.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Risner went through a physical examination from the team's medical staff and met with Vikings coaches. Vikings offensive line coach Chris Kuper and assistant offensive line coach Justin Rascati worked with Risner in Denver, and because of their history with Risner, the Vikings didn't feel a need to work him out on the field, O'Connell said.

"It's getting him in the building, in a setting where we can get to know him a little bit better," O'Connell said.
