I'm beginning to wonder whether Geoff Schwartz is going to make this team or if he'll receive an injury settlement. He's going to have very little practice time with the team when he does come back.WR Kamar Jorden (hand), LB Solomon Elimimian (hamstring), G Geoff Schwartz (sports hernia surgery) and TE John Carlson (knee) still out.
Davidson loves him and the guy IS fairly talented (certainly better than DeGeare, Holmes, Murphy, Cook, Horn, etc). It's a standard injury and one that players easily come back from. We could use the depth too. He's a capable tackle even if he's better at guard. Swing/versatile guys have value. With only a 1-year deal, money isn't an issue either.Eli wrote: I'm beginning to wonder whether Geoff Schwartz is going to make this team or if he'll receive an injury settlement.

Dan Wiederer on TwitterHave confirmed that Adrian Peterson will not play in either of the final two preseason games. Vikings taking the safe route.

Chris Cook still not cleared. Everson Griffen back today. Sol Elimimian still out. deMarcus Love progressing well and could play Friday.
Frazier says #Vikings starters will play to halftime and probably a series into second half on Friday.
Peterson had 18 carries in practice yesterday and handled well. No residual effects. Will keep loading him up, Frazier says. #Vikings
Cook likely out for this game. Carr or Robinson will start. Robinson definitely will get more reps, Frazier said. #Vikings
---Seriously, how many punt returners have we had in the last 5 years? Need a guy that can get it done.Mike Priefer's quest to find a reliable punt returner is interesting. His top guy right now is Marcus Sherels, a longshot to make the team.
Leslie Frazier said Kyle Rudolph apparently had an eardrum issue, not a concussion. But had to put him through NFL protocol. #Vikings
IMO they should have kept darius reynaud. He was really good and is doing very well in Tenn.dead_poet wrote: ---Seriously, how many punt returners have we had in the last 5 years? Need a guy that can get it done.
I know your question was rhetorical but I had to look it up. 9 different punt returners since 08dead_poet wrote: ---Seriously, how many punt returners have we had in the last 5 years? Need a guy that can get it done.

Before the injury, I believe so. He apparently looked better than Wright.Mothman wrote:Have they been giving Josh Robinson any opportunities as a punt returner? I can't remember but I know he was very good in that role in college...
That's a relief.dead_poet wrote: Dan Wiederer on Twitter

Wasn't Reynaud part of that Rosenfels trade under Childress where the Vikes basically paid the Giants(?) to take Rosenfels off their hands?The Breeze wrote: IMO they should have kept darius reynaud. He was really good and is doing very well in Tenn.
