Access Vikings morning walkthrough: Vikings should be concerned about Sullivan, why local guys stick and more

Every weekday, we walk you through what's going on with the Vikings.

WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED

— It's been three weeks, 11 practices and a trio of games since we saw center John Sullivan, but coach Mike Zimmer remains unconcerned.

— With all due respect to Coach Zimmer, columnist Chip Scoggins says the Vikings should be worried about the state of their offensive line.

— New Vikings offensive lineman Jeremiah Sirles, who should bring some versatility to the offensive line, says he is happy to be in Minnesota.

— While Zimmer declined to declare a starter at middle linebacker, Gerald Hodges continued to hold down that spot during Monday's practice.

— Here are five things you might not know about wideout Mike Wallace.

— The Bears refuse to publicly discuss lineup changes, but it looks more and more like they will move Pro Bowl guard Kyle Long to right tackle.

— The return of James Jones, even if he doesn't catch a ton of balls, should help out Packers wide receivers Randall Cobb and Davante Adams.

— Lions general manager Martin Mayhew played it coy when asked about what is up with defensive tackle Haloti Ngata's expiring contract.

TODAY'S VIKINGS SCHEDULE

The Vikings practice at 10:45 tomorrow morning. Afterward, offensive coordinator Norv Turner will be up on the podium and the locker room will be open to media for the first time since the end of last season.
