Wat the devil?!
I swear I saw a tweet last week from either the team or a reporter that said he'd be good to go for OTAs. Sounds like it's all guessing at this point. Ugh.

Yep somethings are far more important. I've gotten quite familiar in the past 1/2 year with the C3-C7 vertebrae and the weirdness of things that pop up as a result of them not being where they belong.

And with the 25th pick in the 2020 NFL draft the Minnesota Vikings select defensive back.............

I wish him all the best. Hopefully he is able to play again but if not I hope he has a good recovery for the longterm.

Pure speculation at this point.

It was Zimmer who said it would heal and that he'd be good to go.

I'm wondering... If one of your players suffers an injury that seriously jeopardizes his career, do you announce that to the media or do you let the player do it on his terms/time?

The latter, give him some cover and don't make a big deal of it.

You'll have to lock up Mrs. Spielman and Viking Twitter, but yeah, drafting a corner at 25 is pert'near a must.

Figured as much.   He's gonna have to retire.
We are going to draft CB as #1 AND #2 or maybe #3.

I just hope he is ok and can lead a normal healthy life.  Football should be secondary at this point.

I don't think so.  If we sign Hughes and Mac, we still have Hill.  No, we can't "count" on him staying on the field... so drafting and developing a CB (or trading for / signing one) is a necessity.  But I don't think we have to take one in the first round.

Hughes is still under contract. Did you mean Waynes?

Building the team back to the front has worked so well for the Vikings. Its all Spielman knows.
