Greenway out for the year

From the offical site.


The Minnesota Vikings announced today that linebacker Chad Greenway suffered a season ending left knee injury in last night's game vs. Oakland at the Metrodome.

"The toughest part in this business is dealing with the injuries and this is no different," said Vikings head coach Brad Childress. "It's unfortunate because Chad improved during our mini camps, OTA's and training camp. He did a pretty good job in the plays he was in there for last night and made a big tackle on special teams. Chad will evaluate his options in the upcoming weeks and we are confident he will be completely healthy for the 2007 season. Chad will have the full time to rehab."

And somewhere in Iowa, RF16 sits in ash and sackcloth.

Wow, That's a bummer. I do remember all the draft speculation and the cries for drafting this guy. I guess we dodged a bullet.

I wasn't interested in the guy at draft time, but how did we dodge a bullet? If he was playing here that means he wouldn't have been playing for the Vikings last night tearing up his knee. We didn't dodge anything, it's just how things go.

Shame he's not going to play. I was anxious to see how much of an impact he had as a rookie, considering he was a contender for our pick as a third LB in our unit.

Yeah, I feel bad for the guy, but atleast (so far, we know), its not a career ending injury, and he's still very young. So, hopefully he gets better quickly, and is on the field next year. Best of luck...
