Tarvaris Jackson the quarterback of Minnesota Vikings will be sidelined due to a sprain on his left knee, the medial collateral ligament in particular. He was jammed by the defensive lineman during practice last Saturday. Jackson’s MRI showed a mild grade 1 sprain, a league source said. He is estimated to comeback to practice next week. This happened during practice drill, when LeTroy fell and rolled over Jacksons leg. Jackson was still in the field in pain when the trainers rushed to see him. In minutes he got up and was able to walk with out help.
It happened so fast, said LeTroy. Jackson and Sage are the starting quarterbacks after Brett did not return from retirement to join the Viking team. Who ever the player is, you don’t want to see any one of them fall, said Darell Bevell, the offensive coordinator said after the practice. You would not want to see anyone suffer from injury.
