<p><span><strong>Answer:</strong></span> Veteran Fabian Moreau will likely get the nod because of his experience, but Minnesota also likes rookie Dwight McGlothern. Flores will probably get McGlothern some looks to acclimate him. </p>
<p>And if Moreau encounters another stinker — he wasn’t very good against the Cardinals last weekend — the hook could be quick to an alternative. McGlothern is really the only alternative. Akayleb Evans was cut a couple of weeks ago and now works for the Carolina Panthers. </p>
