I'm ok with this, but I wish they'd have done it before Monday's game when they ruled him inactive, no he'd miss first 5 games, but we do need him for the long haul, but Idk if they actually do this, just hope he doesn't rush back too soon, Achilles can be risky to try & play on, even if just tendonitis, wishing him the best.

Tendonitis usually means there is a smaller tear already there and the only thing that actually helps is rest and treatment which is about a 10 week period. So unless they haven't been treating it already the timeline doesn't really change since its not a 4/5 game thing but probably more depending on when the rest/treatment started. Its basically a ticking timebomb just waiting to tear fully. And we saw it last year with Greenlaw who got it so late in the season that they decided to chance it by him continuining to play.

The Vikings are kicking off their practice week without wide receiver Jordan Addison.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell said at his press conference that Addison will not take part in practice on Wednesday. Addison will remain inside the team’s facility getting treatment on his injured ankle and O’Connell said the team will take it a day at a time from here.

O’Connell said the rest of the team is healthy as they move toward a Week Two matchup with the 49ers.

Kawakami leaving the athletic. 

I think he's actually been there since it started 

He was one of the first journalists/writers to be signed to The Athletic and he recruited all of the Bay Area writers there.

You can tell he was upset after NY Times purchased The Athletic and he would occasionally make snarky comments on not being able to write what he wanted to.

Aaron Jones is seeking his seventh consecutive game (including playoffs) with at least 100 scrimmage yards. If he hits that mark, it will be his third game in a row against San Francisco with triple digits.

Jones came close to 100 rushing yards, finishing with 94, last week at New York.

San Francisco's rushing offense is proven. Minnesota's run defense under Flores is, too.

In 2023, the Vikings tied for the fourth-fewest yards allowed per rush (3.8). On Sunday, they picked up where they left off, yielding to the Giants just 74 yards on 21 attempts (3.5 avg.). That's important.

Because the 49ers are riding a massive wave of momentum in the run game, and Deebo Samuel is a force multiplier across the San Francisco offense.

Flores: "It's the right fit and the right system. I think Coach Shanahan does a great job of putting those guys in positions to make plays, using their skill sets to be explosive, to create explosive plays. To run the ball the way they want to run it, to be physical, to be violent. I think it's a combination of the two. Obviously, Deebo is very, very talented, but it's a perfect fusion of talent and schematics."

A key to slowing San Francisco is flying to the football. Few do that better on the Vikings defense than second-year linebacker Ivan Pace, Jr., who left guard Blake Brandel compared earlier this week to a "jacked-up pitbull" and "heat-seeking missile." Pace had six tackles and a quarterback hit in the opener.

Flores, on Pace: "He's certainly being talked about from a game plan standpoint this week, with an aggressive, violent rushing attack that we're going to see. We're definitely talking about him, and how to deploy him along with a lot of our other guys against what is going to be a big challenge."
