Of the four new starters on the Vikings’ offensive line this year, Easton has clearly been the weak-link. Last week against the Steelers, Minnesota’s left guard could be seen getting thrown around like a rag doll on multiple occasions by Pittsburgh defensive lineman Cameron Heyward.

His task will not get any easier for Week 3 as he will have to try and block the very talented Tampa Bay defensive tackle, Gerald McCoy. This Sunday could end up being one of the last times Easton will begin a Vikings game as a starter in 2017.
