Mike Zimmer says Xavier Rhodes does not need surgery. Would not say if Rhodes will be sidelined for a while.
My guess is out for 4-6 weeks.dead_poet wrote:Had a brace on his knee today
Knee. Supposedly heard a pop while stretchingPurpleKoolaid wrote:Thats bad, we are going to miss Rhodes. Any word on what happened and the exact injury?
At least Waynes showed he can play.
It appears the intrigue surrounding the identity of the Minnesota Vikings' starting quarterback -- which the team worked so diligently to protect last week -- will continue for at least a few days leading up to Sunday night's game against the Green Bay Packers.
Coach Mike Zimmer said after Sunday's 25-16 win over the Tennessee Titans that the Vikings will make their decision between Shaun Hill and Sam Bradford on a weekly basis. And given how closely the Vikings guarded the identity of their quarterback before Sunday's game -- a contest against an AFC South opponent that professed not to be too concerned with the decision -- it stands to reason they'll play the shell game again before they open U.S. Bank Stadium against their biggest rival.
There's something to be said for a savvy veteran with the right mentality. Well done, Shaun.The 36-year-old completed 18 of 33 passes for 236 yards in Sunday's win, playing turnover-free football and helping the Vikings rally from a 10-0 halftime deficit. He did more than you might think to get the ball downfield, too -- according to ESPN Stats & Information, Hill completed 10 of his 17 throws for at least 10 yards, posting 183 of his yards on such throws. Teddy Bridgewater has never posted a game with that many completions of at least 10 yards, and Bradford has done so just once.
