He was a college left tackle at BYU when he was chosen in the third round of the 2021 draft. But his first full-time starting gig was at left guard in 2022, when he started all 17 games.
He started four games last year in the first half of the season, before suffering a torn Achilles in Week 8 against Buffalo.
In five seasons here, he's appeared in 59 games, with 34 starts.
The team added former Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker in free agency, along with former Saints and Jaguars center Luke Fortner. That gave them a solid starting five, along with guards Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis, and veteran right tackle Taylor Moton.
That was augmented in the draft when they took tackle Monroe Freeling in the first round and center Sam Hecht in the fifth.
With left tackle Ikem Ekwonu's status up in the air after he suffered a torn patellar tendon in the playoff loss to the Rams, having a player with Christensen's ability to play multiple spots will be important.
