The Vikings defense is getting off to a rough start this year.
None of these losses are good for the Vikings, but I’m especially worried about the loss of Williams. I’m afraid the Vikings secondary could use all the help they can get. Comments |

Heath Farwell, special teams expert and backup linebacker, tore his ACL in last Friday’s pre-season game against the Seahawks. He will be out for the season. This definitely hurts our special teams. Farwell was considered the Special Teams MVP last year by teammates. The secondary effect of this injury, though, will be the fact that we will lose some depth at linebacker. Farwell probably would’ve seen decent amounts of playing time as he rested Chad Greenway.
Jayme Mitchell also tore his ACL, and will also be out for the season. Mitchell was the second string defensive lineman behind Ray Edwards, so losing him will affect our depth chart. Last season Mitchell had 1 sack and 8 tackles coming off the bench for Minnesota. He probably would’ve gotten more playing time this year than he did last season.
Brian Robison had minor surgery on his leg. He hopes to be back by the season opener, but there’s a chance he’d even make it back before the final pre-season game. Robison is currently 2nd in line behind new-comer Jared Allen. Robison is someone who I expect to turn into a great defensive end in a couple of years. I think he’s a great pass rusher, and as soon as he gets a better grasp on some of the other aspects of the game, he’s going to be a monster. Hopefully missing the end of the pre-season won’t slow him down too much.
Maddieu Williams, the starting safety and one of the huge off-season acquisitions for the Vikings, is fighting with some neck problems, and it came out that he may miss the next 6 weeks. If that’s the case, he will be out for the first 3 weeks of the season. Obviously losing a starter is always bad news.
