LOL!

At this point, I'd say it's pretty clear that in a season that was supposed to be all about rebuilding, Fusco is clearly a player they're really trying to develop.

It's worked before. Sullivan was brutal before the light turned on. That's the only thing I'm clinging to.

Isn't Fusco only a 2nd year guy?

I wonder if next year what we'll see is Fusco replacing CJ?

That will depend largely on how PFF grades him after the season. Leslie Frazier and company will be waiting for the numbers before making that decision.

#Vikings have signed tackle Troy Kropog to 53-man roster. Kropog had been on practice squad. Guessing they'll add a receiver there next week.

If they put that much stock in PFF's grades, Schwartz would be starting!

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Chris Cook is scheduled to visit with doctors on Thursday and, if all goes well, could be cleared to return to game action.

Cook broke his right arm on Oct. 26 against Tampa Bay and was placed on injured reserve with the designation to return. The designation, which is new this season and can be used for one player per team, meant Cook had to sit out six weeks of practice. He can be activated to play in games after eight weeks.

Cook began practicing last week and is eligible to return on Dec. 23 when the Vikings play at Houston. He was listed as being limited in Wednesday's practice.

"That's still the goal," Cook said when asked about him being back on the field as the starting right corner against the Texans.

Matt Kalil (illness) and Brian Robison (shoulder) won't practice today. Adrian Peterson also may to sit to rest, per Frazier. #Vikings
Robison has Grade 3 AC sprain. Day to day but could be tough for Sunday.
It's still wait and see on Chris Cook. Too soon to say what role if any he can play on Sunday, Frazier said.

I suffered this same injury Oct 16 and it took a solid 4weeks of recovery before the pain subsided, but some movements and range of motion are difficult as well as loss of strength. Now, I do not have the treatment that these guys get but a ligament tear is a ligament tear. They don't heal themselves, but your body will learn to compensate. I have gone for 3 opinions as the the first Doctor said I would not need surgery for this grade 3 separation, the second Doctor said I had a grade 4 and needed surgery and then the 3rd Doctor who was the tie-breaker said I had a grade 3 and that I should undergo surgery. Basically, the ligaments from the clavicle/scapula that hold the shoulder are torn and the shoulder has fallen. This gives the look that there is a large lump on my shoulder, but it is really the end of my clavicle that is exposed.

I am scheduled for surgery 3/8/13, so I would fully expect that Robison will probably do the same in the offseason.

Brian Price - DL - Free Agent

Free agent DT Brian Price visited with the Vikings this week.

It's Price's second visit with the Vikings this season. The 2010 second-round pick of the Bucs has been on the street since the Bears waived him at final cuts this season.
