Team gets the week off, but some players stay to get better
With an early week four bye week, Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress gave his players and coaches the rest of this week off after a team meeting Monday. “For us it comes at a good time with guys that are a little more beat up than we’d like to see them this early,” Childress [...]
Favre limited Thursday with elbow injury
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre has a right elbow injury, according to the official injury report. The elbow injury was not listed the day before, so his elbow could just be sore from practice the day before. Just speculation. The 40-year-old’s back is not listed on the injury report, which is a good sign because [...]
Favre works with receivers in practice
With the Minnesota Vikings’ passing game a concern, it appears quarterback Brett Favre is taking extra steps to build chemistry with his receivers in practice. According to Judd Zulgad of the Star Tribune, during his limited access, Zulgad watched Favre line up as a defensive back during group drills and talked to the wide receivers about the [...]
Walker is still waiting by the phone, working out
Javon Walker’s future with the Minnesota Vikings may depend on the team’s ability to trade for San Diego Chargers receiver Vincent Jackson. Walker was cut before the regular season and some believed the Vikings would re-sign him after the first game so they could pay him on a week-by-week basis. According to the Pioneer Press, Walker has [...]
Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints (9-9-10)
Well, none of us Vikings fans obviously wanted to lose to the Saints, especially after the heart-breaking loss in the NFC Championship game last January.

Childress: Jackson still over Rosenfels on depth chart
Seconds after I posted a blog about the roster situation between quarterbacks Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson, I noticed a report by Jeremy Fowler of the Pioneer Press about the roster situation between Rosenfels and Jackson. Per the report, Jackson is the clear backup to quarterback Brett Favre and Rosenfels’ impressive preseason doesn’t seem to be enough to [...]
Sage Rosenfels vs. Tarvaris Jackson, who stays and who goes?
With the emergence of the raw and athletic Joe Webb at quarterback, it appears it would be virtually impossible for the Minnesota Vikings to sneak him onto the team’s practice squad while exposing him through waivers. Quarterback Brett Favre is the obvious lock at starter, which leaves one more roster spot on the quarterback depth chart for [...]
Favre lubed up his ankle
The 2010 regular season has not started yet, but Minnesota Vikings quarterback is already taking injections for his gimpy ankle. According to Peter King of SI.com, after eight series Saturday night against the Seattle Seahawks, Favre went into the trainers’ room in the Vikes’ locker room and got an injection of lubricant in the left [...]
