Here We Go Again ..Riley Reiff leaves Thursday practice injured, Zimmer responds
Riley Reiff has seen his new beginnings with the Minnesota Vikings get off to a concerned start in training camp.
The team's left tackle, who was the biggest signing of free agency after inking a five-year deal worth $58 million, left Thursday's training camp practice and was replaced by Rashod Hill.
UPDATE (5:40 p.m. CT): Head coach Mike Zimmer has chimed in, telling KFAN that Reiff is expected to be okay after a "twinge" in practice on Thursday.
Dayum...

Well Reiff dinged up already, Remmers got schooled yesterday by Hunter and the boyzs...just a bad afternoon.
Hill replacing Reiff holding his own for now. Lumar having a bad day covering recievers.
Today practicing in pads lets see how everyone does.

I don't blame us. =)
Maybe I'm paranoid, but if the injury was minor, why wasn't he on the field observing practice...

Probably. But, if its minor is it going to take all day?
This sucks. I've also read in previous reports from camp that Remmers is getting his ass handed to him in pass protection. Every day Reiff is out, he loses cohesiveness and reps on a new line.
