Vikings OL Revival Hinges on Veterans | Minnesota Vikings News

The Vikings’ offensive line, plagued by pressure and sacks last season, is poised for a major overhaul in 2026—especially with veteran anchors Christian Darrisaw and Brian ONeill returning, new coach Frank Smith bringing fresh run-game tactics, and Will Fries stepping in at right guard. Despite allowing the most QB pressure in the league and surrendering 60 sacks, the unit still helped Murray rack up over 1,800 rushing yards and 3,200 passing yards. With key players like Ryan Kelly (pre-injury) showing promise and a solid foundation to build on, the line’s ability to protect the QB will be the season’s biggest storyline. We’ll see if they can turn the tide by Sunday.
