Vikings CB Terence Newman listed questionable for Sunday's playoff vs. SaintsTerence Newman was limited during Friday’s practice with a foot injury. The Vikings listed him questionable to play for Sunday’s NFC Divisional playoff against the Saints.
It’ll likely take a significant injury to keep Newman, the NFC’s oldest defender at 39 years old, from playing in his ninth career playoff game. He’s played a key role for the NFL’s No. 1 defense this season, seeing about 56 percent of the snaps as the primary slot corner.
Newman is the only Vikings player listed questionable vs. the Saints.

The Saints boards talk about losing several guys to injuries this season. They have done a great job to replace several people and make a serious playoff run. You have to give them credit.

if we have to go with a D starter/major contributor being limited or out, I cant really think of a better situation, not that Newman doesnt pull his weight or is a weak spot, but having Alexander in the wings is pretty comforting.

slot corner is a bitch to play for even the best, its really nice to have 2 guys that are doing it at a pretty high level.

Ok, but if they had lost their starting QB and their top rookie running back, would they where they are now? Without Brees or Kamara? They would not be in the playoffs. Vikings are the 2 seed. Gotta give us credit, too.
