Aw shit. Hopefully it's nothing serious. I have high hopes for Collins as a versatile depth piece.

After missing all of last season with a torn right bicep, swing tackle Aviante Collins went down with an apparent left leg injury toward the beginning of Thursday’s practice. He crumbled during red zone drills and stayed down for about five minutes before being carted off the field. It’s still unclear how severe the injury is, though Collins was visibly distraught as he headed to the locker room. Originally undrafted out of TCU, Collins has carved out a niche for himself entering his third season in the league. His athleticism has been his calling card ever since his outstanding performance at the 2017 NFL Combine, where he was the top performer at his position in both the 40-yard dash (4.81 seconds) and bench press (34 reps). He parlayed that into a spot with the Vikings and looked well on his way to becoming a viable backup on the offensive line. If the injury is serious, it would be a fairly substantial blow to the offensive line, at least as far as depth is concerned. Aside from Collins and fellow swing Rashod Hill, the only other tackles on the roster are unproven rookie Oli Udoh and practice squad player Storm Norton.
