The Vikings are turning to Artis Hicks to be their starting left tackle with Bryant McKinnie suspended for the first 4 games of the season for a violation of the NFL personal conduct policy for his involvement in a fight outside a Miami nightclub months ago.  Hicks has started at right guard for the Vikings and has started 49 of 66 games he's played in his 7 year career which began in Philadelphia.  The Vikings play their season opener at Green Bay against the Packers Monday night at 6pm, pregame on WJON at 5pm.
