Why wasn't Diggs there? Personal business or is he hurt?

He's had a groin injury for a couple of weeks.

Maybe time to let him rest a game (plus the bye week) and activate Wright. As long as Rudy is ready to go I feel we would be ok for a game.

the offense would suck without Rudolph.....which is a concern....we are a bit one dimensional in the passing game. It seems like every important passing down and redzone play all goes to Rudolph....

I guess I thought he was better since he played in the MNF game.

Autobon7 is right. Maybe Diggs should rest and activate Wright.

They are probably hoping to go easy on him for the week, have him play against Texas, then let the bye do the resting. The Vikings are hunting for the superbowl this year, you need to try and win every game you can. Playoffs are never a sure thing until you are in.

That and if the NFC has to go through our stadium I don't see anyone beating us in there.

I just feel it would be advantageous to make sure Diggs is 100% before trotting him on the field. I'd rather he miss 1 game as opposed to 3 (or more). Not only do I have faith in the rest of the group but it would give Bradford real time to develop a better rapport with them. I do get what you are saying about trying to win every game and that is very true.....always a chess match.

For the Texans game:

Out: Andre Smith, David Morgan, and Sharrif Floyd

Doubtful: Ellison and Diggs (game time decision)

I,totally agree. Groin injuries are one of those things that can keep,a,guy down the entire season if not taken,care of early. I'd rather see him sit a bit and heal up and come back for the run at the end than play the season out at 50% or even end up being out.

We're getting really thin on the offensive line. Just wonder if we're at least looking just for backups.
Who would now be our swing tackle?

Wonder what the word on Harris is? I would maybe keep Austin Shepherd on speed dial even though he is a guard. I think he is teamless at the moment.

Didn't someone sign Shepherd?
