Udoh (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Udoh suffered a quadriceps tear in Thursday's loss to the Eagles, which was previously reported as season-ending, so his move to IR doesn't come as a surprise. In his place, David Quessenberry will likely become the team's top swing tackle, backing up Christian Darrisaw (ankle) and Brian O'Neill. The team also signed Dalton Risner on Monday.

The Vikings selected Udoh in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 193rd overall.
EDGE Analysis
Udoh hails from Elon in North Carolina and is yet another offensive line piece that enticed the Vikings in this draft. Udoh (6-foot-5 4/8, 323) will have an adjustment period due to the major jump in competition coming from the FCS level. That said, he has the type of frame and athleticism worthy of a gamble at this stage in the draft, and unlike the Vikings' other line picks from this class, Udoh adds tackle depth.
