Pro Bowl Defensive End Pat Williams expects to play Sunday in the Vikings first playoff game against the Eagles.
That would be a HUGE (pun only partially intended) relief.
The Vikings gave up an average of 71 rushing yards per game in the first 14 games of the season, but in the 2 games without Pat Williams, [...]

Bad news, Vikings fans.
Pat Williams suffered a broken right scapula on Sunday’s game against the Cardinals.  He will miss anywhere from 2-6 weeks. That’s rough news for a team that after the next two weeks of play could be as high as the #2 seed in the NFC to as low as missing the playoffs [...]

Will Gus Frerotte play this week?  Or will it be Tarvaris Jackson?

The Vikings are officially listing Gus Frerotte as “Doubtful” on the roster for the game this Sunday against Arizona.  That would imply that Tarvaris Jackson will bet getting his third start of the season this Sunday.  But the Vikings have made it clear that [...]

Vikings defensive lineman Brian Robison will miss a couple weeks due to having minor surgery on an knee that he injured in the second half of the Bears game.
Robison is by far the best backup lineman that the Vikings have.  Personally I would even rate him as being better than Ray Edwards.
This, of course, is [...]

Read the article here.
I hope he plays… Allen was listed as doubtful last week and he played.  With the Vikings being a little short handed in the defensive backfield anyway with the loss of Charles Gordon, we could DEFINITELY use Williams.
He’s played good in the last two games, but he missed the 7 games before [...]

I’ve been waiting to post this to hear something more official, but so far no official word is coming out, so I’ll just post what I know.
Jared Allen sprained his shoulder on Sunday against the Texans.  In an interview, he claimed it was a level 3 sprain, which if true would almost certainly keep him [...]

Vikings Injury Update

The Vikings defense is getting off to a rough start this year.
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 [...]

Ray Edwards a bit banged up heading into camp.

The Vikings started training camp at 9:00am today, but starting defensive end Ray Edwards will be sitting out the first day or two with back pain. Coach Childress doesn’t seem to think it’s a very big deal, and says that his starting DE will most likely be back on the field in a day [...]
