Minnesota Vikings Roster

The Minnesota Vikings host the New York Giants in the Wild Card round of the 2022 NFL Playoffs. It’s the Vikings first playoff appearance since the 2019 season. It’s nice to see that playoff drought end. The Vikings made a roster move in advance of the big game. Offensive tackle Blake Brandel was activated from injured reserve. The offensive line has been taking some significant injury hits in recent weeks. Brian O’Neill’s Achilles. Garrett Bradbury’s back. Brandel’s knee. Austin Schlottman’s ankle. Bradbury is reportedly, and thankfully, returning to the field today. Brandel is back and provides depth and potentially snaps at right tackle. The Vikings depleted offensive line is as healthy as it can be for the playoffs. In advance of the playoff game against the Giants here’s a look at the roster of the Minnesota Vikings.
