Can we start referring to any information on this guy as "The Blair Walsh Project"?

No?

Ok :?

Vikings have waived CB Nick Taylor, who suffered a shoulder injury on Friday, and signed Chris Stroud, rookie DB from Webber International.
Waiving Taylor means they can work out an injury settlement (which is likely) or move him to injured reserve.

Fusco getting most snaps so far, but pads go on for first time today. RT @bbarnes333: @TomPelissero who is winning RG competition so far?

Blair Walsh was either 7-of-8 or 8-of-8 in his first live FG session. One was hooked and close. Tough to tell on far end of field. #Vikings

Everson is working solely with the LB's so far. Hope someone will report on the first Kalil/Allen battle.

Intensity tangibly higher during first team work in pads. Ponder off to a good start, 3 of 4 with a couple to Simpson. Good against pressure

Greg Childs beat Marcus Sherels with a double move only to drop at least his third ball of camp. Fan yells out "Rookieeeeee!"

Matt Kalil taking extra reps with twos because of Love's unknown injury. Has deemed to hold up well. Jared beat him once with swim.
Percy Harvin just taken off the field on a cart. Appears to possibly be something with arm or hand area. He walked into locker room.
Kerry Taylor working at flanker with the starters after Percy Harvin was carted off with an apparent hand/wrist injury. #Vikings

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was taken to the hospital Monday afternoon after an allergic reaction to seafood he ate for lunch at the team dormitory.

Peterson was taken to the hospital by ambulance after experiencing shortness of breath and swelling in the face that caused Vikings personnel to call 911. He was back with the team resting in the dorms by the time the Vikings concluded their afternoon practice shortly after 5 p.m.
Receiver Percy Harvin left practice for a few minutes after jamming a finger on his right hand, but he returned to action after missing several plays.

Who? I would have thought Wright would be next in line.
