I don't expect we'll see many starters again this week. They'll have plenty of time and eyes on them in the joint practices for two days. 

I don't think you'll see the big names, but I imagine the starting OL will still play as will some of the defensive starters...you have to give the home crowd something.  The game in Denver is where you'll see all the scrubs.

I am curious to see if they will continue to split the reps 50-50 this week or not

I think it'll be similar to what we saw on Sunday, although I imagine we might get the reverse, where Mond gets the start and Mannion comes in later in the 2nd.  I don't think it'll be 80-20 like Steve thinks it should be.  If there is an 80-20, I'd think that'd be the 3rd game when all the 3rd-4th string players will be playing.

Reed is, but Jesse Davis isn't sidelined.  He was running with the 2s at RG.

Jesse Davis was playing LG with Hinton at RG with the 2nd team. 

Jesse got hurt during a rep and Wyatt replaced him. Here’s the rep where Jesse got banged up.

This will be a better tell on if the Vikings are improved on the OL that much and can run the ball that well, what they did against the Raiders could have been deceptive.

 

49ers for sure is a better example especially if any of their fine starting backers play in Warner, Greenlaw or Al-Shaair, also have better DL even on depth they have Rideway and Givens at DT and of course Kinlaw and Armstead starting and then at DE have backups in Omenihu, Hyder and Turay all who are good players not to mention the starters Bosa and Ebukam.  

 

They have a physical OL even without Trent Williams so it will be a good test for the defensive front as well.
