SAINT PAUL – Super Bowl LII won’t kick off until Sunday, but a football game Wednesday night carried a lot of significance for those playing in it.
Former NFL players from around the league, including several Vikings alumni, returned to the field, this time at Concordia University to play flag football for a cause. The alumni competed against members of the Wounded Warrior Amputee Football Team. The WWAFT roster is composed of veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts who now wish to visibly demonstrate that the loss of a limb does not mean the end of an athletic career.
