Not trying to be concerned about the OL, but....

we are over a month away from the first game.... not to worried yet.   I am guessing much of the absences have been very precautionary at this point of camp,  in another couple weeks we will see guys playing through a bump or bruise that sidelines them right now.  if we get into the week of the 3rd preseason game and things arent full go for all 5 starters up front its time to start ringing the alarm bell.

Vikings left guard Nick Easton will seek a second opinion this week for neck and back injuries, a source tells ESPN. Easton missed Saturday's practice and is being held out today along with starters Pat Elflein and Mike Remmers. Third-string center Cornelius Edison is working... 1:40 PM - 6 Aug 2018

They’re pretty much never healthy.  And its already affecting the offense:

They better get their shit together or this season will be lost before it begins.

One good thing I think was bringing Compton in. He’s played with Cousins for a number of years and has versatility. He’s at least not a dramatic drop. I get really worried when I hear 2nd opinion mentioned so hopeful it’s something he can get back from in a reasonable amount of time. Elflein is a big concern too because it seemed like he has a pretty dramatic impact on that line when he’s in.

They were talking on KFAN today on there probably wont be a lot of 7 step, 3 second drops for KC this year. At least not early on...

Richie Incognito said that Minnesota and Seattle have reached out to him.

I hope not. You want a guy who regardless of what you think of what he's said in the passed. He has indeed been institutionalised for what he's done this year.  I think he's got serious issues in the head and he's got anger issues to boot.  He doesn't need to be near our young guys. 
I'm sure he believes he's been reach out to. However he believes other things that aren't true.

I am sure the team will be leaving no stones unturned including trade opportunities with a defensive back or end as bait.

Not to be an alarmist, but this could undermine the season. Easton sounds like he might be out for an indefinite about of time and still no Elflein. Vikes might have to trade to get a solid O-line addition.
