Word on the street is that Chad Greenway is FINALLY ready to go. Vikings Vixen has been spending more time than she should worrying about the Vikings players health and injury status. If the Vikings would just draft healthy players, I wouldn’t have to worry so much. Anyway, there is no brace on Chad Greenway's left knee and he has no pain in the surgically repaired joint and no limp left over from the months of rehab. Greenway said he is still working on strengthening the leg, but all signs point to him being 100 percent for training camp, which opens in late July. So the word is that Greenway is back on the field with his teammates and has been penciled in on the starting lineup of the Minnesota Vikings!
Last year was agonizing for Greenway and Vikings fans. Everyone was so anxious for Greenway to make his debut with the NFL team he grew up rooting for as a kid in tiny Mt. Vernon, South Dakota. After starring at Iowa, Greenway's dream came true when the Vikings picked him Number 17 overall in the 2006 draft. He signed a big contract, got married and couldn't wait for his friends and relatives to see him in action in the Metrodome, but it all ended before it really started. He was injured while busting a wedge on the kickoff against Oakland on August 14, and just like that, his season was lost. Vikings Vixen is ready to put that behind her and see Mr. Greenway run onto the field with all of the cheering that a star quarterback would get. I want to hear as many fans cheering for Greenway as cheer for Joe Mauer at a Minnesota Twins game – Greenway is almost as lovable and local as that Mauer kid, anyway.
