Is Kene still injured?
Unfortunately I think he'll lose his spot on the active roster because of it. Smith-Marsette has been everything the Vikings drafted Kene to be, he even carried the ball tonight in addition to averaging 25 yards per kick returnYes, hasn't practiced since his week one injury.
Ito Smith got cut. Cook and Mattison are #1 and 2, obviously. I think Abdullah will be #3 and they will probably keep either Kene or Rose and then put the other one on the practice squad. Rose has looked pretty good. I like his cutting ability and he does a good job finding holes, but Kene's speed is a major advantage. I read a training camp article a while back that said Kene was doing great an kickoff and punt coverage.Unfortunately I think he'll lose his spot on the active roster because of it.

Kene is going to make the roster, unless his injury is far worse than has been suggested. Not a chance they're going to expose him to being signed by another team, by putting him on the practice squad. Rose has played well, but he's the guy that will hit the practice squad.Ito Smith got cut. Cook and Mattison are #1 and 2, obviously.

I thought it was a slight hyperextension. But they seem to be playing things pretty cautiously so I’ll take that as a good sign for Kene.How bad is his injury?
I think so too. Kene impressed the coaches and his teammates. They all mention his speed and some reports say he is the fastest player on the team.Kene is going to make the roster, unless his injury is far worse than has been suggested.

I don’t think Zimmer has the patience for what that would entail.I saw that. Maybe they go get Hakeem Butler and try him at tight end????

I agree. But I still think it would be cool to see.I don’t think Zimmer has the patience for what that would entail.

Jets trade Chris Herndon to Vikings
Injuries hit the Vikings' tight ends hard this preseason, and they've made a trade to address the situation.profootballtalk.nbcsports.com
Me either. Can't imagine it's much more than a 6th round pick. He's got some talent.I don't hate that move.
