Last I heard our old line coach Davidson signed him to their practice squad.

Sheperd is a free agent. Chargers released him from their practice squad a few weeks ago. Dont think anyone scooped him up.

If that's the case I'll bet he will be spotted in Miny this week.....whether or not he wears purple again remains to be seen.

Any word on Mike Harris?

It's being kept secret but scuttlebut is it's bad. Like illness vs. physical ailment.

So does anybody know where Diggs is at injury wise?
He hasn't practiced this week.

That doesn't sound good. Also, what about Wright? He looked good against the Texans. When did he get hurt?

Sure would like to have both Diggs and Wright ready for the next game.

Ya, but take their time, please. No need to rush back from a pulled muscle. He was obviously not the same player when he was trying to play through it anyway. If it takes 2 more weeks to heal, take 2 more weeks.

Exactly. He isnt chasing a record if he sits the rest of the regular season and gets 400 yards in the Playoffs I'd be thrilled

I hope our late round TE can get back
having a good blocking TE that can add
a lot in offense could really help our running
and screen passes..

Good point. I definitely don't want Diggs or Wright to come back too soon and get even more injured.

The Vikings are showing some real WR depth with guys like Thielen and Patterson stepping in.

The possibility exists that Diggs, Wright, and Treadwell will either not play or could be limited due to injury. Couple that with Pruitt being out and that COULD severely limit targets for SB. With that being said I think Johnson will have a big game.....we will see.
