The past I have written for my home town paper a blog about the Vikings from a fan perspective. The paper ended my article after 3 years but the Vikings were nice enough to keep me on the press alerts by email. I will be able to keep the fans up to date with various activates including a break down of the opponent.
The game Sunday night ended in a loss on the scoreboard. The real loss potentially was when I saw Kevin Williams take the cheap shot. I went to bed concerned what Kevin Williams future would be. Here it is a statement from the Coach himself:
Eden Prairie, MN (August 26, 2013) – “Kevin Williams suffered a hyperextension injury to his right knee in last night’s football game. An MRI exam today revealed a significant bone contusion as well as a posterior capsular strain. Kevin was fortunate in that there was no injury to any of his ligaments.”
– Head Coach Leslie Frazier.
In other tough news the league has announced Jerome Felton has been suspended 3 games for violating the league policy.
Here is a statement from GM Rick Spielman:
Eden Prairie, MN (August 26, 2013) – “We respect the league’s decision and Jerome understands it. Jerome is focused on returning to the playing field in week four vs. Pittsburgh.” – General Manager Rick Spielman
