Edit: Harris was expected to fight for time along the Vikings’ revamped offensive line. However, all we know about his situation at this point, according to A.J. Mansour of KFAN, is that whatever is ailing him has a chance to turn into a "long-term issue."

DP Zimmer wasn't concerned with Sully last year either.
OL depth is pretty nonexistent now... Loadholt, Harris, etc. Not good...

Smith has had trouble staying healthy the last couple seasons. Which I hope he has a good season.
Any thoughts who would be RT depth? Berger

The depth is still nice. It's just some of these guys are excusing themselves from the competition by default, which is the bummer. Guys on that line were gonna have to get the axe anyway, so it's not like they were retaining 20 guys up front.

Clemmings followed by Beavers I'm guessing.

The video was ok, but it s kind of hard to tell exactly what happened.

If I had to guess, I would offer that Cordarrelle either suffered from: An A.C. joint sprain, acute neuropraxia, or a muscular injury (which is not something that is easily discerned from a 50 second video clip.

Hard to say exactly. I know we are all concerned for the guy, but I credit the Vikings sports medicine staff for keeping this under wraps. That is how a player's injury process is SUPPOSED to go. Unfortunately, nowadays, the Twitter vultures are too numerous, and these things leak.

Cordarrelle Patterson's injury appears to be minor, I'm told. Shouldn't take him long to get back to 100 percent.

Patterson was seen today walking around without any visible support on that shoulder, which is a good sign. #Vikings

Day 2
@mattvensel Not participating in the walkthrough today were Patterson, Ellison, Ellis, Mike Harris, Heinicke and Baxter.
‏@VikingsCorner Trae Waynes just got his first look with the 1's opposite Rhodes. A little more shuffling doing on today in various spots.
@mattvensel At today's walkthrough, Joe Berger is at center with the first-team offense and, interestingly, T.J. Clemmings is at right tackle. #Vikings
‏@VikingsCorner Once again saw Lamur blending in for Greenway with the 1's in base. That happened a little yesterday too.
@VikingsCorner Thielen get some looks with the first team too. He blended in there a little yesterday too.
@ArifHasanNFL Johnson rotates into first team before Treadwell again
@christomasson Mike Zimmer had said yesterday in a radio interview there wasn't concern about Cordarrelle Patterson injury
@joeoberle Cordarrelle Patterson is on the field for walk thru. He's not doing anything but his presence is a good sign

@ArifHasanNFL Turner: yesterday, I thought Treadwell had a good day. I can tell he worked hard on what we told him this summer. He was fluid and has a good understanding of the routes
@ArifHasanNFL Turner on Peterson/McKinnon balance: It's a game to game deal.

So far it seems the Vikings top 4 WRs are Diggs, CJ, Thielen & Treadwell.
Troy Stoudermire has caught my eye in the kick return game. Really has nice vision to read his blocks. Good speed too.
