The Vikings made a change to their starting lineup for Sunday's game at Tennessee.

Dalton Risner is starting at right guard, a position that has been manned by Ed Ingram for 41 of Minnesota's past 43 regular-season games.

The Vikings starting offensive line of LT Cam Robinson, LG Blake Brandel, C Garrett Bradbury, Risner, RT Brian O'Neill marks the third different combination to start a game for the team this season. The line was first altered when Christian Darrisaw suffered a season-ending knee injury at the L.A. Rams in Week 8. Minnesota traded to acquire Robinson from Jacksonville just five days later.

Originally a free-agent signing by the Vikings during Week 3 last season, Risner started the final 10 games of the 2023 campaign at left guard and received a pass-blocking grade of 67.4 from analytics site Pro Football Focus.

The 2019 second-round draft pick was a four-year starter for the Broncos prior to joining Minnesota.

Through the Vikings (7-2) first nine games this season, Ingram has received a 54.0 overall grade from PFF (49.1 in pass blocking). He has been penalized just three times.
