Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said on Monday that starting center and team rock John Sullivan would probably get back on the field Tuesday after missing several weeks of practice plus the last few preseason games.
But when the media showed up for the portion of Tuesday practice open to reporters: no John Sullivan. His back spasms are not clearing up.
We are now getting dangerously close to the point where John Sullivan will not be able to suit up for Monday night’s opener against the black-clad San Francisco 49ers.
If Sullivan can’t go it will be the ever-reliable Joe Berger starting in his place.
