Sharrif Floyd, Terence Newman, Eric Kendricks and Edmond Robinson are not practicing for the Vikings this afternoon. Jerick McKinnon is back, as is Brandon Fusco.

No surprises among starters on #Vikings depth chart. Sullivan at center, Smith at right tackle, Newman at CB, Sendejo at SS, Greenway at LB

Cordarrelle Patterson and Adam Thielen listed as even on second team at flanker behind Stefon Diggs. Jarius Wright surprisingly listed 4th

Mike Zimmer on Andre Smith likely to be right tackle: “It’s going that direction.’’ Said John Sullivan/Joe Berger up in air at center. Mike Zimmer on John Sullivan: “He’s healthy. I don’t think there’s any issue with him not being healthy enough to play.’’

One thing that messed the Sully, Berger competition up a little was Fusco getting injured. It bumped Berger out to RG.
Harris not being healthy messes things up a little.

Anybody have thoughts on this?
Alexander is a roster spot lock barring injury. MoBo is destined for the practice squad if not cut outright. Takes time to learn the game and his athleticism alone won't earn him a roster spot. I think he's a fairly safe bet to make the PS if they want him. Kearse has a lot of competition but he could go either way depending on performance for the rest of the offseason. I wouldn't be surprised if he's on the PS.

Matt Kalil is not practicing today. Appears to have his left knee wrapped. #Vikings

He has missed like three snaps his entire career. How is that annoying?

His knees, like clock work, wear down every year, it's already started and we're not even to preseason yet lol.

You're kidding, right?...You're not kidding.

He always has some kind of ailment. His knees, his toe, his back, a hip...Wasn't his dud of a second year blamed on being hurt (not injured)? Every camp we hear "Kalil looks good...Kalil feels good...Kalil is finally healthy." I don't care if he's hardly missed games. Dude is always hurting himself and it's getting annoying. Everyone gets hurt in the NFL, yet we keep hearing about Kalil and it seems to effect his play the most, by the excuses he gets.

Well we're kind of thin with backups on that side of the line. Be interesting who we would play backup there.

That kind of would suck Clemmings playing the left side.

From what I hear Newmans nagging injury is an ankle.

For what it's worth, according to the depth chart they released yesterday, Kalil's primary backup right now is Jeremiah Sirles, followed by Bykowski.
