on the flip side... its a home game, should be about as good as it gets for an OT to be able to get a feel for the QBs cadence and what not. Next 2 are on the road and then home for what could be viewed as a must win divisional matchup against the bears.

Thats true too...

BTW, next 3 are on the road, including @ Soldier Field. 

Bears aren't here till mid-December.

You are correct,  my bad.
Shrewd smart move IMO.

Robinson is a UFA, so he's playing for a pay day.

Unsure how he'll play but the incentive of him playing for his next deal, he's only 29 years old, is why this move makes sense.

+1 to Kwesi
Vikings’ plan at left tackle on hold until Cam Robinson is able to practice Thursday


The Vikings’ plan at left tackle remained up in the air Wednesday as the team practiced without Cam Robinson, the newly-acquired veteran with 91 starts for Jacksonville since being drafted in the second round in 2017.

“We hope to have him practice [Thursday], and we’ll see where he’s at,” coach Kevin O’Connell said shortly before Wednesday’s practice, when Robinson was still en route to TCO Performance Center.

“If he’s ready to go and prepared, I’d like to get him in the mix there. If for whatever reason, either situational or something where we hold him out and give him a full week of prep next week, we’ll see how it goes. I think we have a good plan in place.”

Robinson, 29, started seven of the Jaguars’ eight games this season. He was cleared from NFL concussion protocol before Jacksonville’s game last Sunday but did not play.

Vikings General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah sent a conditional 2026 fifth-round pick to Jacksonville for Robinson and a conditional 2026 seventh-rounder after the Vikings lost Christian Darrisaw, who suffered a season-ending injury to his left knee in last Thursday’s loss at the Rams.

“When you lose a player like Christian Darrisaw, it’s so catastrophic because he means so much to your team,” O’Connell said. “To find a player of Cam’s caliber, in-season, like Kwesi was able to … we’re very much looking forward to getting [Robinson] here.”

O’Connell wouldn’t reveal his plan if Robinson isn’t ready by Sunday. The team is considering moving left guard Blake Brandel to left tackle and inserting Dalton Risner at left guard. Backup David Quessenberry started two games in place of Darrisaw last season but struggled in his 25 snaps after Darrisaw went down against the Rams.

Let's see how it goes, hopefully we can get a coherent line plan together that gets test-driven on Sunday night. What I really want to see is 4 quarters of aggression from our whole team, especially an offense that acts like it's loaded with terrifying weapons...!
Quessenberry is also on the injury report this week with a knee injury. Was limited
Cam can't start already, can he? I see the rumor is he will. I mean, he's needed big time, but.....I guess we'll see.
