TJ might have better technique than Kolton Miller...

Ouch!

With Clemmings, I’ve never seen an o-linemen have some much trouble using his hands and feet in sync. Every time he’d get his hands in the right spot, he’d stop his feet. Every time he’d show good footwork, he’d be slow to get his hands up.

“The Minnesota Vikings family is devastated by the loss of our dear friend Fred Zamberletti,” owners Zygi and Mark Wilf said in a statement. “Fred was a staple of the franchise since its founding, helping build the Vikings from an expansion club in 1961 to a team ingrained in the fabric of life for Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. Fred worked tirelessly, at one point building a streak of 1,049 consecutive Vikings games attended, and was loved by everyone throughout the organization — players, coaches, and staff. He cared deeply about the health of his players as well as their lives off the field. With his incredible stories and his passion for the team, he was respected by us as owners. Each of us inside the Vikings has our own personal memories we shared with Fred and those will never be forgotten.”

Vikings COO Kevin Warren: “When I reflect upon the legacy of Fred Zamberletti, I think of a man who was loyal, intelligent, hard-working, tough, and dedicated. Fred was a true Renaissance man. He was incredibly knowledgeable about wide-ranging subjects and could capture your attention with his storytelling ability. We rarely discussed football and primarily focused on family, faith, music and life. Fred had a powerful and unique ability to relate to everyone and was a man with a huge heart who deeply loved God and spent every day striving to make the world a better place.”

In addition to numerous professional awards, Zamberletti was inducted into the Minnesota Athletic Trainers Hall of Fame and was chosen Professional Athletic Trainer of the Year in 1986 by the Drackett Company of Cincinnati. He and the Vikings staff earned the 1996 NFL Athletic Training Staff of the Year award. In 1999, he earned the Cain Fain Award at the NFL Physicians Sports Sciences Symposium and was an Honorary Fellow of the Minneapolis Sports Medicine Center. Recognized by the governor as an Honorary Ambassador of the State of Minnesota, Zamberletti also received the Minneapolis Honorary Citizen Award. In 2011, Zamberletti was recognized by his alma mater with the Distinguished Alumni Award.

Running back Jerick McKinnon‘s first season with the 49ers ended before it started when he tore his ACL in practice on Saturday and the team officially removed him from the active roster on Monday. McKinnon has been placed on injured reserve and will spend the rest of the year recovering from the injury. 

Alfred Morris and Matt Breida are set to carry the load in the backfield with McKinnon out of the picture.
