Rookie quarterback Tarvaris Jackson suffered cartilage damage in his right knee during practice Thursday and likely will have surgery Monday, Vikings coach Brad Childress said today.

Childress predicted a recovery timetable of around a month, similar to the time it took rookie cornerback Charles Gordon to recover from a similar procedure this summer.

Childress said he was not sure how the team would handle its No. 3 quarterback position Sunday against Chicago. But it seems the Vikings will need to identify a position player who can play in an emergency if starter Brad Johnson and backup Brooks Bollinger are both injured and can’t play during the game.

More to come on this issue.



The Vikings have the most injuries this year, it ****ing sucks

vectore

They're saying it's similar to what Charles Gordon suffered in the preseason, it took him a month to recover from.

This is supposebly very minor.

the odds of this actually having an impact on the vikings are slim to none. Bollinger can get it done.

He wasn't with the team during training camp. I'm sure he could step in, but I doubt he'd be as mildly effective as Johnson at this point in the season.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Fobos @ Sep 23rd ) [snapback]1715172[/snapback]</div>All he (and the Vikings) would have to do would be to move the chains and not turn over the football (i.e., the formula that got us to 2-0 so far!). Style points don't lead to W's in the NFL! Even a 2-0 victory is a W! (Bud Grant would agree with that.)

Personally, I LOVE the way the Vikings are playing so far! Now, if we can get our passing game rolling...
