Yes, Vikings really need Kendricks back. Apparently, Munnerlyn and Joseph were at practice. I'm hoping they'll be ready to face the Skins.autobon7 wrote:Need Boone and Kendricks back as well.

Mike Zimmer said Jake Long hurt his Achilles. Likely a season-ender.

Re: Injury News
I can't remember the last time a team lost its starting and backup tackles. ON BOTH SIDES. Maybe the goat didn't die, just moved a little northwest.halfgiz wrote:Matt Vensel

Re: Injury News
With Jake Long gone, Alex Boone says he and Tony Sparano are going to talk tonight about the possibility of Boone playing left tackle.

At this rate, the Vikings OL is going to be down to the last two men standing and a long shoe string.S197 wrote:

Re: Injury News
I feel like there needs to be a complete overhaul of the line next off season. I don't know. But some how they need to bring in 5 new quality linemen.PsyDanny wrote: At this rate, the Vikings OL is going to be down to the last two men standing and a long shoe string.
Re: Injury News
I'm wondering if they kick Boone out to LT, move Berger to guard and start Easton. Sure would be nice if Harris could come back.PsyDanny wrote: At this rate, the Vikings OL is going to be down to the last two men standing and a long shoe string.

Re: Injury News
you can poke a stick in a pile of dog poo and swirl.....but it is stiil poo not puddin.
There isnt one guy on this OL that I would pick for next year.....they are all lacking skill size and durability.
Spielman built a trainwreck by neglecting the O line

Jake Long's injury split is $453K. Vikings up to ~$910K in cap room after Pruitt/Heinicke moves. Should get some space back if Long hits IR.

Re: Injury News
Karate is a great way to stretch things out. Thing is, you start slow and the more you do it the more you loosen up. When I first started I couldn't kick above my waist, now I could easily kick someone in the head. BTW, I started when I was 52.S197 wrote:I didn't realize you can strengthen tendons either, sounds like they need to start a yoga class. Speaking of stretching, anyone notice Smith always does these kung fu back kicks between plays?

Re: Injury News
I think if Long goes on IR his best bet is to just retire.

I would settle for 5 average right now

Re: Injury News
FYI, you dont really strengthen tendons/ligaments. You can increase their flexibility/length. Mild tears will heal over time though those structures can take longer to heal then bony fractures. Many severe ligament/tendon injuries will never really be the same. PEDs are so dangerous because they cause huge increases in muscle mass and force while NOT increasing tendon/ligament strength. Hence, that nice giant guy like Sosa, Bonds, etc suddenly starts tearin their achilles in half.

Re: Injury News
Something else to consider. There have been certain drugs known to increase tears and weakness in tendons. If I am not mistaken, Levaquin is one of them. A widely prescribed antibiotic.chicagopurple wrote:FYI, you dont really strengthen tendons/ligaments. You can increase their flexibility/length.
