Vikings Urged To Sign Former Rival Guard After Donovan Jackson Injury

The Minnesota Vikings are being urged to sign veteran guard James Daniels in free agency following an injury to starter Donovan Jackson. Jackson suffered a torn meniscus during the team's 15-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. While undrafted free agent Joe Huber is slated to take over the starting left guard spot, media analysts suggest adding experienced help to stabilize the interior offensive line.

VikingsOnSI's Devin Platana recommended Daniels, a former Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman with 85 career starts. Markarian notes that Daniels offers a higher floor than Huber. Other potential free-agent alternatives mentioned for Minnesota include veterans Alex Cappa, Will Hernandez, Ben Cleveland, and Cody Ford.
