O-Line Let Shorthanded After Injury to LT Hicks

The Vikings had to scramble to put together an offensive line after left tackle Artis Hicks was hurt in the third quarter of last night's loss at Green Bay. Hicks was starting in place of Bryant McKinnie, who was suspended the first four games of the season because of N-F-L conduct violations. Hick suffered an elbow injury and was replaced by Marcus Johnson, who had never played left tackle before in his four-year N-F-L career. Drew Radovich was listed as a backup to Hicks, but he was inactive for the game. Radovich signed with the Vikings as a rookie free agent after going undrafted out of Southern California.
