The Vikings may have found their long-term answers at both tackle positions. Remmers is 27 years old and Reiff is 28.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Remmers is a natural right tackle who had to start at left tackle last season in Carolina. At 6-foot-5, 310 pounds, he has started 37 games in his five-year career.
With Remmers at right tackle the Vikings will likely start Reiff at left tackle. Vikings.com notes that Reiff started for the Lions at left tackle from 2013-15 and right tackle in 2016.
Riley Reiff at left tackle. Mike Remmers at right tackle. Is that enough for the Vikings to appease Adrian Peterson's concerns about the OL?
