The Vikings have at linebacker a three-time Pro Bowl selection on the strong side in Anthony Barr and a guy in the middle in Eric Kendricks who eventually could make a Pro Bowl.

After that, there’s not a lot.

The starter at weak-side linebacker is Ben Gedeon, but he played just 24.5 percent of the snaps last year as a rookie because the Vikings usually went to the nickel.

Among reserves, there’s plenty of inexperience. And one of the most experienced of that bunch, Kentrell Brothers, will miss the first four games of the regular season for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.

“We don’t have enough depth right now,’’ Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said Tuesday of the linebackers. “So that’s what we’re trying to work on, getting more depth at probably a lot of spots.’’

Zimmer was asked if the Vikings could make a roster move to address the situation.

“There’s all kinds of ways to do that,’’ he said.

The Vikings do have Antwione Williams, who played in 14 games, starting three, as a rookie for Detroit in 2016. But he hasn’t played in a regular-season game since then.

Brothers is entering his third season, but he played just nine snaps from scrimmage in his first two years. Eric Wilson is in his second season and didn’t get a single regular-season defensive snap as a rookie.

Williams and Brothers are the only linebacker reserves to have had regular-season snaps. Others on the roster are Reshard Cliett, rookie Devante Downs, a seventh-round pick, and undrafted rookies Garret Dooley, Mike Needham and Brett Taylor.

At least Zimmer is pleased with how Wilson is looking. He made the team last year after being undrafted.

“He’s always been a good athlete, but he’s not making very many mistakes now,’’ Zimmer said. “We’re playing him at multiple positions.’’

FORBATH TO JETS?

Kai Forbath might not be out of a job long.

ESPN reported that the kicker, released Monday by the Vikings, will work out Wednesday for the New York Jets. Forbath, Minnesota’s kicker the previous 1 1/2 seasons, lost the kicking battle to rookie Daniel Carlson.

“Releasing Kai now does Kai a little bit of a favor because … it gives him an opportunity to try to at least get a workout and maybe latch onto a team,’’ special-teams coordinator Mike Priefer said before his Jets workout was reported.

Priefer said Forbath was gracious when told he had lost the job.

“He handled it like a pro, like I expected he would,’’ Priefer said.

Priefer said Forbath kicking well in the spring meant “the competition probably went on a little longer than I thought it might’’ after Carlson was taken in the draft in April.

BADET BACK

Vikings wide receiver Jeff Badet returned to practice Tuesday on a limited basis after being knocked out of last Saturday’s 14-10 preseason loss to Jacksonville with a concussion.

Badet was hurt when he caught a 13-yard pass in the fourth quarter and was belted by safety Jarrod Wilson, who was assessed a penalty for unnecessary roughness.

“I was kind of dinged up and got a little headache, but I’m good now,’’ Badet said. “They called it a concussion, but I’m feeling fine. All symptoms are gone. No headaches. I’m fine.’’

Badet expects to go through a full-contact workout Wednesday and play in Friday’s preseason game against Seattle at U.S. Bank Stadium. He has no ill will toward Wilson.

“It was a hard hit, but that’s the name of the game,’’ he said.
