Training Camp Master Thread

Is that the same injury from last season ? I wouldn't call that small, if that is the case...

I don't think so, Ken. I think this is a different injury.

Wait, are we suddenly deep at LB?

@Luke_Spinman One guy who consistently impressed me is converted S to LB from Canadian league Brian Peters..2nd team base 4-3 LB looks natural in run/pass

There it is.

@murphPPress: Zimmer said Barr frustrated dealing with nagging inflammation in surgically repaired knee; still not ruled out vs Steelers #Vikings

[Mothman]

There it is.

Okay... that's not so bad! Hopefully, he'll be 100% good to go and frustration-free by the time the season begins.

@1500ESPNJudd: Barr sat out practice again today for Vikings b/c of inflammation in left knee. Zimmer said, "We anticipate he'll be back pretty quick."

Related to last season's knee issue not the one worked on this offseason

@chipscoggins: Said Barr: "Just being smart about it. No need to rush it right now. ... Things like this, you’ve got to be patient."

@Andrew_Krammer: Kalil described last year as ‘excruciating pain’ on his knees: “Now it’s quite normal, no knee pads, nothing wrong.”

This dude cannot stay on the field. pfft.

that is what i'm saying. barr has been nothing but injury prone up until this point in his career. saying that he "doesn't want to rush it" might look okay on the surface, but when you've been having nagging injuries for well over half a year can't be good. i hope for the best with him, but i wouldn't be surprised if he misses even more time. we are talking about knee problems on different knees within 7 months.

I thought that he was good to go to start camp. This is not something that I wanted to hear. And with recent injury bugs popping up is disappointing to say the least.

Let's put on the breaks a bit. There's still, what, four weeks until the first regular season game? It's possible he's 100% coming out of the bye if not by week 1, which is what all indications point to.

[mosscarter]

how long can you rest a guy and continue to say that he is "okay." to me, this doesn't look good at all with barr. i hope i'm wrong.

[VikingPaul73]

There it is.

To me, if there is ANY question about whether he should play Sunday, then there should be NO question that he should NOT play.

Its the 1st of 5 preseason games for the Vikes, no need to push it!!!

I can't imagine he'd play either but inflammation is kind of weird. It can kind of come and go suddenly. If he does play, I doubt it's for more than a series or two.

@Andrew_Krammer Lutman, Line, Barr, Berger, Yankey, Dubose, Crichton and Robinson are not practicing for #Vikings today
