Ugh.....hope the Vikings err on the side of caution here. I'd rather try my luck with Case than risk further injury to Sam. If we lose, we lose, but I want Sam all year.

I don't like the sound of this...  pain and swelling in the same knee where he tore his ACL twice...  not good.

Uggh.  Didn't someone mention that the football gods may owe us a decade or two?  At least just leave us the hell alone.

You've got to be kidding me.

I also worry that now that this news it out there, teams might start targeting his knee.  Thank god we've already played the Aints this year.  We do play that piece of shit Gregg Williams and the Browns week 8 though...

Its not good. At the very least, problematic for the remainder of the season. This is what has really reduced my excitement over Viking's football....its literally always something almost every year. Hope raised only to be dashed on the rocks of the inevitable. 

Same bullshit, different year.
