Tight end Kyle Rudolph is not sweating a changing role that has seen him fade into the background of the Vikings' pass game while staying busy in the trenches of a run-first offense.
He is coming off the biggest receiving day of his season with four catches for 63 yards against the Bears on Monday night.
Rudolph is the ironman among active NFL tight ends, leading with 90 straight regular-season starts, but he's tied for 28th at the position with just 18 catches this season.
"That has evolved over the last year and a half," Rudolph said.
