Vikings 90-man roster player profile: RG Ed Ingram

Welcome to the beginning of our 2023 season preview content!

Over the next few weeks, we will be looking at each player on the 90-man roster in-depth with backgrounds and how they currently project forward on the Minnesota Vikings roster.

What is the best-case scenario? What is the worst-case scenario? What should we expect from them during the preseason and beyond? We will break all of that down here.

As a staff, all of us at Vikings Wire ranked the entire 90-man roster 1-90 and will be releasing player profiles in reverse order.

Best case scenario

Ingram is primed to take a major step forward in 2023. He played 1,225 snaps in his rookie season and that allowed him to work through his warts and struggles. Having that kind of experience going into year two where the Vikings will have a lot of continuity on the offensive line is going to be huge for Ingram’s development.

 

Worst case scenario

Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY Sports

There is a chance that Ingram doesn’t take that step forward. He struggled in pass protection, allowing 63 pressures in 18 games, an astronomical figure that was the worst in the NFL. Seeing substantial year-over-year growth isn’t something that you see often.

What to expect in 2023

Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY Sports

It is hard to imagine a situation where Ingram regresses from last season considering all of the struggles that he went through as a rookie. He likely will show a good amount of improvement from last year due to playing 1,225 snaps. The element of power is something that the Vikings haven’t had on the interior for some time and it’s needed.
