(AP) -- Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper will miss the rest of the season and perhaps part of next season because of a severe injury to his right knee. Culpepper sustained damage to the three major ligaments in the knee: the anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate and medial collateral. Coach Mike Tice said Monday that Culpepper, who was hurt on the final play of the first quarter in Sunday's 38-13 loss at Carolina, will have surgery in the coming weeks once the swelling subsides. Recovery from such injuries can take up to a year. ``He has a long rehab ahead,'' Tice said. The Vikings (2-5) will use veteran Brad Johnson as their starter, with Shaun Hill moving up to backup status. Culpepper, bothered with a sprained MCL and bursitis in his knee this season, was hit low and from the side by Panthers cornerback Chris Gamble while scrambling for a first down.

Rypien 91 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 Yeah, it sucks for him. I hope he recovers quick, but this is good news for my fantasy team. I can finally drop him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drex Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Devastating blow to an already plagued Vikings team. Tice is history after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
