The Minnesota Vikings' run game has been identified as a key area for improvement, lacking a definitive RB1. With trade speculation rising as the deadline approaches, Vikings insider Alec Lewis points to Titans running back Tony Pollard, suggesting he could be a candidate to boost the team's ground attack.
