According to the Star Tribune the Minnesota Vikings are concerned about the hamstring injury suffered by WR Cedrick James. The injury is one reason coach Mike Tice feels the team does not have anyone ready to take WR Cris Carter's place when he leaves. NT Shawn Worthen tore a pectoral muscle while working out and had surgery last week. It looks like a three-month recovery for him.

Mike Wells reports for the Pioneer Press Minnesota Vikings DT Winfield Garnett continues to rise up the team's depth chart. In fact, a play he made on Sunday stood out with coach Dennis Green. On a second-and-two play he dragged down Bucs RB Warrick Dunn for a two-yard loss. "No question he's earned himself more minutes," defensive line coach Brian Baker said. He called Sunday his best game yet. Garnett is one of three young tackles making significant strides. Rookie Shawn Worthen and Fred Robbins are the others. The Vikings play at New Orleans, one of three teams to cut him, this weekend. Garnett will have built in motivation for that game.

The Star-Tribune reports Minnesota Vikings DT Shawn Worthen, who was inactive week one, may be active this weekend as he continues his recovery from a pre-season foot injury. "We'll know better Wednesday," defensive line coach Brian Baker said Monday. "We'll know after contact day." Worthen said the injury, which became a problem after the team's first pre-season game, robbed him of his ability to use his leverage.

The Pioneer Press reports the Minnesota Vikings escaped Friday's pre-season game with no major injuries. The most serious injury was suffered by backup MLB Mike Crawford, who sprained his right ankle. Also, backup TE Shonn Bell suffered a right shoulder stinger. Rookie DT Shawn Worthen watched the game in street clothes because of a toe injury. Starting CB Robert Tate (shoulder) and rookie CB Carey Scott (stomach) didn't make the trip. There is a possibility Scott has an appendicitis.

Bill Williamson reports for the Pioneer Press although the Minnesota Vikings defense couldn't contain Saints QB Aaron Brooks, their secondary did not allow any long passes. Minnesota's new-style defensive line displayed its speed and put pressure on the QB, even against the Saints first-team offensive line. The Vikings finished with seven sacks. They had five in the first half, from five defensive linemen. "We played real aggressive on defense and that's what we've been teaching," new defensive backs coach and assistant head coach Willie Shaw said. Rookie DL Shawn Worthen finished with two sacks.
