Mason Cole Placed on Injured Reserve

EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings on Friday announced that they have placed offensive lineman Mason Cole on Injured Reserve.

Cole had been listed on this week’s injury report as not practicing because of an elbow.

The fourth-year pro who joined Minnesota this offseason via a trade with Arizona had started the past seven games for the Vikings and played every offensive snap in each of those games.

Cole first stepped into the starting lineup at center in Week 9 at Baltimore after Minnesota placed Garrett Bradbury on Reserve/COVID-19.

Bradbury returned to the pivot in Week 13 at Detroit, and Cole moved to right guard, where he started the past three games.
