Sucks not having him play today - especially vs Murray. 

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Does it matter? How many straight games without him? Ridiculousness.

I thought Zimmer said knee when he was joking about Kendricks tweak.

Alot of talk about the meniscus tear early in his career and speculation that he has an arthritic knee since they removed meniscus.

Arthritic knee is what I've heard. I guess I didn't realize he had his meniscus removed. If so and if it's giving him problems now, this may have been a case study for ISJ choosing the repair over the removal.

Yup, made me think about ISJ right away too. Zimmer said that was all about career longevity. 

Vigil has been playing very well with splash plays. I'm not sure he's a replacement for a pedigree like Barr yet, but may end-up being an important piece. I think he already is - 2 games in.

Arthritic knees don't last.

SEE- Matt Kalil

 Shrewd   move to make  Barr's long term deal,  a 1 year deal.

Vigil has been playing at WLB and staying in for nickel. Blake Lynch is the one playing in Barr's place on early downs, but unlike Barr, coming off in nickel. Both of those players have been looking pretty good. But obviously getting Barr back is the soup this defense needs most. 

Speaking of Barr, I'm a little worried about the other Barr. Hoping the AZ game didn't force an unexpected appt with his cardiologist.

UDFA from last year. Good size, fastest LB on the team. Started a few games last year with all of our LB injuries. Looked good and had a nice camp this year as well. Flashed some big plays in both the Cin and Az games.
