However, the Colts will see a familiar face when their defense takes the field: former Jacksonville Jaguars starting offensive tackle, Cam Robinson.

After the initial tackle, Christian Darrisaw suffered an injury (ACL/MCL) against the Los Angeles Rams and announced out for the year, the Vikings quickly executed a trade with Jacksonville to integrate veteran Robinson into their ranks.
