Vikings issue injury report
September 3rd, 2008 – 4:35 PM by Judd ZulgadThe Vikings did not practice today but still had to issue their first injury report for Monday night’s game at Green Bay. The four players on the report were quarterback Tarvaris Jackson (knee); running back Maurice Hicks (foot); wide receiver Robert Ferguson (ankle); and safety Madieu Williams (neck).
Jackson, who missed the final two preseason games after suffering a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee, has said he definitely will play Monday. Hicks did not practice Tuesday and coach Brad Childress declined to say why at the time. You have to wonder if a foot problem will keep Hicks from returning kicks against the Packers. That job most likely will go to receiver Aundrae Allison if Hicks isn’t available.
Ferguson was hurt in the third preseason game. Media was allowed to watch through a portion of the individual drills in Tuesday’s practice and at that time Ferguson was on the field.
Williams, meanwhile, is expected to miss the first three games of the season because of his neck injury. He will be replaced by rookie Tyrell Johnson.
Remember, the expected status for players (out, doubtful, questionable, probable) will not be listed until the final injury report.
The Packers also did not practice Tuesday. Here is Green Bay’s injury report: S Atari Bigby (ankle); T Chad Clifton (knees/chest); DE Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (knee); RB Ryan Grant (hamstring); LB A.J. Hawk (chest); WR James Jones (knee); S Charlie Peprah (hamstring); G Josh Sitton (knee); DE Jeremy Thompson (groin); C Scott Wells (back); LB Tracy White (ankle).

The Fockers are hurtin’.
I got $10 that says that T-Jax does not finish the game
My groin got hurt once - I was told to stop pulling it…
It’s possible T-Jax doesn’t even start the game. If he was hurt worse than they’re saying no-one would find out till the last minute.
Are you saying that the Vikings have such a huge lead that Jackson is pulled out of the game so Frerotte can perform mop up duties?
vikingsuperfan, if TJ finishes the game you owe everyone on AV $10.
Even Judd and Chip.
And if they’re not allowed to take it their share gets divided up between the rest of us.
I can’t wait until the season starts so this blog can get interesting.

What’s gonna be interesting is gonna be what the moaning pessimists say if the Vikes win and TJ plays well.
This blog is dead…. it will never be interesting again…

Buster, they’ve got a pretty interesting blog at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, you should check it out. Also the Green Bay is supposed to be pretty good, you should check that one out too.
Buster, shhhhhh…
Buster, you always fill me with hope, you ray of sunshine you.
Buster…..why do you keep repeating yourself!!!!!!!
Buster, they have new treatments for Tourette’s now.
Buster, Bill Gates called, he wants some of his CAPS back.
jay, you’re almost as funny as wisvike and that’s not funny at all…..
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on Buster, you know I’m just messing with you. I’d miss your caps if they were gone.
Bill Gates is a better QB than TJoke…
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!!!
I will admit that Bill Gates might pick up the offense faster than TJ but he doesn’t have TJ’s natural athletic ability.
I would hate to see Bones vs Hoppy in a gum chewing contest
Wow, ESPN’s Week 1 rankings has TJ ranked 29th, ahead of only Brody Croyle, Kyle Orton and Joe Flacco. And they have Aron Rodgers ranked 18. I now officially hate ESPN.
But they do have the Vikes D ranked 3rd and the Fockers D ranked 5th. But I still hate them.
i’m a little surprised that Sullivan is ranked higher than Jackson…that should be embarrasing to him…and what about Russell? what in the world has he done to be rated higher than Jackson…
how come Peter King has Jackson rated higher than all these so called experts on ESPN…I’ve been reading stuff f/ King since I could page through an SI magazine…ESPN is crap!! I’m outraged…this whole ranking thing is ridonkulous
And how crazy is this, they have Visthane Shiancoe ranked 9th at TE.
Matty, yeah, how does JT Sullivan get ranked higher than TJ?
and Matt Ryan WTF?? the Falcons are going to be TERRIBLE this year
I blame retsuB semyhR for T-Hacks low QB ranking
Jay08…Shanko was the 29th TE…
Matty, made you look!
so now I read a little more on ESPN and find out that this is all based on their week 1 opponents respectively…and if TJack and beat the Packers man coverage he’ll be fine, but if the packers can cover and not give our guys room to get open Tjack could have a tough night…not to mention not having McKinnie on his blind side
Made you look though.
Matty you’re supposed to say “You got me Jay, you made me look.”
jay , your made you look bullsh!t is really old-stupid and not even close to funny… give it up..
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!!!
Buster, shhhhh.
Buster, made you look.
Anyway Buster even if you were right that one time doesn’t make up for the other 10000000 billion times you were wrong!!!
But I promise I won’t do any more made you looks.
yep…go w/ that jay
But back to ESPN and this is for reals they’ve got Brian Westbrook ahead of AP.
thats the difference in the first week opponent
Why? Just because of who they play?
yeah…philly plays the vaunted run defense of the rams…the vikes play the fairly stout Packers D…thats my guess
Ole wan Kenobi is probably off smoking some dope tonight.
Howzit DRed!
Have you found that missing chromosome yet?
DRed = searching through his 13 year old bag of vomit for his missing chromosome
dang, this blog is deader than an Obama fundraiser attending a K K K rally
people are sleeping Ole1, getting ready for the season to start…kids got school…people busily watching the RNC…and google-ing Sarah Palin
How come Chilli isn’t on the injury report with a Ruptured Brain???
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!
Day 1 of the 2008 Season!!! Woohoo! Giants over the Redskins by 10! I have Cooley at TE, and the Giants’ kicker and defense!
Let the games begin!
“Right now Tatum Bell is shacked up in a crackhouse in Flint, MI wearing Rudi Johnsons undies on his head.” (a comment to the story on T&R) 
RS - He got treatment for it all day yesterday and was declared good enough to go (90%).
Chilli at 90% is like an average football coach being at 50%…
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!!
I’d vote for her….
B. - Don’t get over excited about the Giants D. Without Strahan and OSI they are average at best….
Vikings 63, Packers 10. We will get jobbed by the officials a bunch of times or else we would get the shutout.
We have the best pass rush. We have the best linebackers. Our secondary is arguably the best in NFL history. Griffin & McCauley are awesome and were both steals in their respective drafts. Both would’ve been first-rounders if only (insert typical Homer excuse).
Aaron Rodgers is a terrible quarterback and is terrified of facing Jared Allen. T-Jax is at 100% and is 13-14 times better than Rodgers.
The Packers defensive backs will be diving out of the way of Adrian Peterson because they are scared to tackle him.
The Packers are a horrible team despite the fact they went 13-3 and won the NFC North and basically lost nobody except Favre. As the Homers tell us, #4 wasn’t really that good anyways, certainly not as good as T-Jack.
Bones is scared to play me in Madden…..
…he’d rather play Star Trek or Wars or whatever….
Griffin and McCauley would have been first rounders if they were good. But they weren’t. There I said it.
King, I’m not scared of you…. You big bully…..
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!!!
I’m hooked on Metal Gear Online right now.
You’d better be….
