Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings are 2-11 after losing to the Detroit Lions Sunday. They have the 2nd worst record in the league. Their draft position could be hurt by winning any of their remaining games. The Vikings have a need for an impact player at offensive tackle, defensive back or receiver.

The Vikings lost 34-28 at Detroit to the Lions Sunday afternoon. Joe Webb fumbled the football on the last play on a first and goal from the Lions 9-yard line and the game ended with the Lions recovering. Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy appeared to grab the facemask of Joe Webb on the final play contributing to the fumble. No flag was thrown.

Viking quarterback Christian Ponder and running back Adrian Peterson both practice on a limited basis Friday and both are listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Detroit. Ponder didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday while Peterson was limited in practice on both Thursday and Friday after not practicing on Wednesday. If Ponder can't play then Joe Webb will get the start at quarterback. Webb has been taking the first team snaps. Toby Gerhart will get the majority of the carries if Peterson cannot play.

Viking quarterback Christian Ponder missed practice for a 2nd straight day Thursday with a hip pointer injury while running back Adrian Peterson returned to practice with a high ankle sprain in his left ankle. Ponder still hopes to play and will need to practice in some capacity today. Peterson had missed the last 2 games games with a high ankle sprain and was limited in practice Thursday.

Viking quarterback Christian Ponder sustained a hip pointer injury Sunday after taking numerous hits against Denver Sunday. Head coach Leslie Frazier announced the injury to Ponder at his Monday press conference and said he is concerned about Ponder but the trainers say Ponder should be fine to play Sunday at Detroit. Ponder is likely to be limited in practice this week.

The Denver Broncos beat the Vikings 35-32 Sunday afternoon at Mall of America Field. Christian Ponder threw 2 interceptions with his 2nd allowing the Broncos to setup the game-winning field goal as time expired. Ponder was 29-47 passing for 381 yards and 3 touchdowns with 2 interceptions.

The Vikings added veteran quarterback Sage Rosenfels who was placed on waivers Thursday after spending the season with Miami. Rosenfels didn't play all season due to injury and was backing up Matt Moore with the Dolphins anyway. Rosenfels was claimed off waivers by Minnesota. Donovan McNabb was placed on waivers by Minnesota Thursday and went unclaimed. Rosenfels will be 3rd on the depth chart at quarterback behind Christian Ponder and Joe Webb.

Viking running back Adrian Peterson is still not practicing with a high ankle sprain to his left ankle and failed to practice for a 2nd straight day on Thursday. Peterson says the soreness in his ankle is "winding down" and he is just "taking it slow right now". Peterson still expects to play Sunday against Denver despite not being cleared to practice yet.

The Vikings will reportedly release backup quarterback Donovan McNabb today. McNabb started the first 6 games this season and had a record of 1-5 as a Viking starter. He threw for 1,026 yards and 4 touchdowns with 2 interceptions with a quarterback rating of 82.6 this season.

The Vikings announced today that enough tickets have been sold for the game against Denver on December 4 will be televised locally. This marks the 142nd straight game sold out for Viking home games.
