The storied rivalry between the Vikings and Packers will have another chapter this weekend. Brett Favre and company will be in the Metrodome on Sunday to face the Purple. The Packers are on a hot streak, winning their first three games and waiting for Favre to break a quarterback record. Favre tied Dan Marino for [...]
Packers coach Mike McCarthy isn’t too happy with comments made by Vikings safety Darren Sharper. Earlier this week, Sharper said he wanted to help Packers quarterback Brett Favre break the NFL’s all-time interception record. Favre is three away from that record, but is also one touchdown pass away from holding that all-time mark. Sharper played eight [...]
Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson took a few snaps during yesterday’s practice at Winter Park in Eden Prairie. He hasn’t participated in an entire practice session since suffering a strained groin muscle in the loss at Detroit on September 16th. That means Kelly Holcomb may get the start on Sunday against Green Bay at the Metrodome. [...]
Vikings safety Darren Sharper says he wants to help Packers quarterback Brett Favre set an NFL record on Sunday at the Metrodome. Favre is one touchdown pass away from being the league’s all-time leader, but he’ll become the all-time interception leader if he’s picked off three times. Sharper says getting all those interceptions would be [...]
Quarterback Tarvaris Jackson practiced yesterday for the first time in nearly two weeks, but it’s still not certain if he’ll start Sunday’s game against Green Bay at the Metrodome. Jackson is hobbled by a groin strain that happened in the September 16th loss to Detroit. The injury kept him out of last weekend’s loss at [...]
Injured Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson says the offense has to stop beating itself. Jackson says the coaches can call any play they want, but if the execution is bad, it won’t work. The Vikings’ offense has been sputtering in the first three games of the season, similar to last year when Brad Johnson was the [...]
Free agent linebacker William Kershaw was at Winter Park in Eden Prairie yesterday to work out for Vikings officials. Kershaw was waived by Kansas City a week ago today. He played one game last season on special teams with the Chiefs and was on the team’s practice squad the rest of the year. Kershaw signed [...]
Vikings coach Brad Childress says if Tavaris Jackson isn’t recovered from a groin injury, Kelly Holcomb would start on Sunday at the Metrodome against the Green Bay Packers. Jackson was hurt in the Vikings’ loss at Detroit, forcing him to miss this past Sunday’s game at Kansas City. Holcomb got the start and was sacked [...]
Vikings head coach Brad Childress says the team would be in good shape with a win Sunday over the Green Bay Packers at the Metrodome. That would make the Vikings 2-and-2 going into their bye week. A loss would drop the Vikes to 1-and-3, with road games against the Bears and Cowboys coming up before [...]
Vikings quarterback missed his second straight day of practice because of a groin strain, but head coach Brad Childress insists the second-year pro will start on Sunday in Kansas City if he’s healthy. Brooks Bollinger and Kelly Holcomb worked with the first team in yesterday’s practice at Winter Park in Eden Prairie, with Holcomb getting [...]
