Jesse Davis taking over the starting reps at right guard isn’t the only change the Minnesota Vikings could be seeing along the offensive front in 2022.
Chris Reed, who was originally brought in to compete at right guard, has been working with the second-team unit at center. It could be the first step towards the 30-year-old veteran eventually overtaking starting center Garrett Bradbury on the depth chart.
The Vikings declined Bradbury’s fifth-year option in the offseason and hoped playing in a contract year would ignite a fire under the former first-round draft pick. So far, however, it has been much of the same disappointment for a player that hasn’t lived up to his draft stock.
