Vikings Pat Williams out 2-6 weeks (1 Viewer)

From the Startribune:

The word on Pat Williams is not good for the Vikings.

The Pro Bowl nose tackle has a broken right scapula. Coach Brad Childress said that means Williams will be out from two to six weeks.

The scapula connects the arm bone (humerus) with the collarbone (clavicle), according to extensive internet research.

Williams suffered the injury in the third quarter of yesterday’s win at Arizona. He was playing under a court order that delayed the NFL’s four-game suspension, but now it appears he will at least miss the final two games of the regular season.

 
Oof. Looks like taking the suspension would have been better for him.
Except for the pesky details of four game checks.
Well, I'm of the opinion that they're going to lose their court case and serve the suspension anyway. I think the judge knows this too but chose to give them a reprieve until next season when it wouldn't affect their playoff chances as much.
:own3d: :lmao: :P I find it hilarious that people think that judges take something like that into account in a legal proceeding. This isn't some guy with his office in the back of a barber shop like some old western movie. The guy is a federal court judge. I'm not saying that I think they have a shot to win their case, but if a judge thinks there is a reason to review it, then there is probably merit in doing so.
 
Not exactly sure how this works but could pat go ahead and say, I'll go ahead and take my 4 game susp now?

I wouldn't think so, atleast not without endangering Kevin's part of the case as well. I don't know how it works with injured players, either.
