I think the growth of the cross practices with other teams has replaced preseason for starters. Have the ability to go live against other opponents (with less risk of injury to QB, RB, etc) while still getting somewhat similar game reps. Get all your mojo from the practices and have 0 risk of injury in a preseason game where guys are hitting hard trying to get a roster spot.
Vikings are using scrimmages vs the Titans (last week) and Cardinals (this week) to play starters against other teams. The starters are still getting good reps, just not televised
Has anyone heard what is the injury? With all the gambling garbage going on, I'm starting to wonder if he was involved.
I thought the same thing. See post #2616. I haven’t anything specific on his injury and KOC mentioned in a press conference something about his situation. Of course no one in the Minnesota media caught on and asked what he meant by situation.
Speculation that he could make the roster and get IR'd. Putting him on the IR before the 53 man cut down means he's done for the year. If they do it after rosters are set, he can come back during the year.
Must not have seen enough out of McBride?Here's the Vikings initial 53 man roster.
Kene made the roster, but they only kept 3 RBs total. With his injury, I suspect that him being added to IR and another running back getting signed is still very much in play.….
Probably hoping no one claims him and he can be on the Practice Squad.
Everything I read about him is he's talented, but the learning curve is proving difficult.
How long is Kene expected to be out?Here's the Vikings initial 53 man roster.
Kene made the roster, but they only kept 3 RBs total. With his injury, I suspect that him being added to IR and another running back getting signed is still very much in play.
And they only kept 8 offensive lineman. I'm guessing there's a waiver claim or signing in the future there as well.
They haven't disclosed. It must not be season ending, or he'd be on IR already, but he missed almost all of training camp
