And Mullens was brought over from the <a href=\"https:\/\/bellyupsports.com\/2022\/08\/patriots-visit-las-vegas\/\">Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> to be his backup. Sean Mannion and <a href=\"https:\/\/bellyupsports.com\/2022\/08\/kellen-mond-makes-a-connection\/\">Kellen Mond<\/a> did not get the job done in the preseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running Backs: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CookDa01.htm\">Dalvin Cook<\/a>, Alexander Mattison, Kene Nwangwu, Ty Chandler, C.J.

Mattison has always been a capable backup, but I still think there is a chance he could be traded to a running-back desperate team. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/N\/NwanKe00.htm\">Nwangwu<\/a> and Chandler just may be the faces of the Viking\u2019s running game after this season.

Thielen hopes to rebound from a couple of injury-prone seasons. Osborn\u2019s stock is rising, and he should see more opportunities this season. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/S\/SmitIh00.htm\">Smith-Marsette<\/a> handles punt return duties and has shown flashes of brilliance. Nailor has a ways to go, but he has tremendous speed and can also return punts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tight Ends: Irv Smith, Johnny Mundt, Ben Ellefson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a position of concern for the Minnesota Vikings. There are doubts about <a href=\"https:\/\/purpleptsd.com\/2022\/top_news\/minnesota-vikings-roster-cuts-tracker\/\">Smith<\/a> after missing all last season and the preseason with injuries. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MundJo00.htm\">Mundt<\/a> is a capable blocker, but the jury is out on his pass-catching ability.

Cleveland improves every year as he has learned the position on the fly. Ingram will make some rookie mistakes, but he can be a beast in the middle. Bradbury\u2019s pass blocking remains a significant concern. There could be changes at this position if his play does not improve. Brandel and Udoh provide depth at the tackle position. Reed can play all of the interior positions. Schlottmann is there in case Bradbury falters.

Asamoah has impressed everyone in his short NFL career. Dye did not have a great camp, but he has played well at times in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cornerbacks: Patrick Peterson, Cameron Dantzler, Chandon Sullivan, Andrew Booth Jr., Akayleb Evans, Kris Boyd<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peterson remains the wily old veteran back there.
