He was hurt 2 weeks ago and is a major component to our defense. Our media hasn't said shit about it for a week and a half. It was pretty obvious it was serious when it happened. How has it not been a bigger deal than (finally) being notated by a national blogger 4 days before the game? How has local Viking coverage ignored the availability of a starting LB heading into the playoffs? I Just find it goofy an article like this drops and it feels like a surprise. When something is obviously going on with the injury (now that we know he didn't practice today), I think asking why folks with access haven't even simply asked for an update is a fair thing to raise. I know folks are dejected from the lack of momentum heading into the playoffs, but media mailing it in on important issues because we have bigger ones anyways seems like some crap. Obviously the team has known and worked around it accordingly, so it's not surprise to the guys working to win this weekend; fans on the other hand just shouldn't have been left with an impression that he even could play if it's as seriously as most figured it was.
He had an MRI scheduled according to post game comments. It's been a week and a half... somebody ask! The fact that today's update on it is "well, it looks like he wasn't practicing" is some serious bullshit. This is local media's playoff effort? We had to find out from Mike Florio and still don't have an answer to what's going on with Kendrick's injury?!
Quote:Eric Kendricks still not practicing, but Dalvin Cook a full participantI've been wondering about this since it happened. Patiently awaiting an update. We made it through an entire week and a game without an update on it...
Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks injured his quadriceps in the Dec. 23 game against the Packers. He has not practiced or played since.
Kendricks remained out Wednesday, four days before the Vikings play their wild-card playoff game against the Saints.
