Vikings place LT Matt Kalil on IR

Good news for our pass rush.

Man they are having a lot of injuries, stinks for them (though i don't have much sympathy for the child abuser)

That might actually be an upgrade. Matt Kalil is hot garbage.

He's not healthy. Suffered 2 bad knee injuries and has never looked the same. Feel sorry for the guy. He was an all pro as a Rookie.

Vikings placed LT Matt Kalil on injured reserve with a hip injury.

Kalil isn't as big of a loss as Teddy Bridgewater (knee) or Adrian Peterson (knee), but he plays a premium position and will be hard to replace, even if Kalil has been a bust as the former No. 4 overall pick. Look for 2015 fourth-rounder T.J. Clemmings to step in after making all 17 starts at right tackle as a rookie. Clemmings was PFF's No. 63 overall tackle out of 76 qualifiers in 2015.

Clemmings has looked better but a switch from right to left was done this season. It's going to be rough.

No Kalil bragging rights on the line now, just Charles Johnson vs. Charles Johnson

Zimmer said TJ Clemmings will play OT. If I had to use 1 word to associate TJ Clemmings, I'd say Skates. He had a talent for getting pushed backwards at the 2015 Senior Bowl and the few times I saw the Vikes play, he was getting pushed backwards at RT. Just wonder if Andre Smith will stay at RT or move to LT

Now if only we had a good DE who could take advantage of their injuries.

Kalil is PFF's 65th ranked OT this year. That's either dead last or 2nd to last.

He was but they were still paying his 5th year salary as the #4 overall pick, $11+ mil.  Big $$$.  I'd definitely take him here as a cheap backup.

Clemmings will probably start at LT now.

Man, the hits just keep on coming. It's almost as if the Vikings are somehow the recipients of Denver's mountain of bad karma.
