Darius Reynaud certainly didn’t hurt his chances of making the team with a terrific effort on an 81-yard touchdown on a punt return in the second quarter. Reynaud fielded the punt near the Vikings sideline and broke three tackles almost immediately.
He then made two players miss in the open field. He finished the play with [...]

This is the full 53-man roster as of Sunday morning, practice squad additions to be made public some time today. There are 6 rookies including the undrafted Jon Cooper. Brett Favre, entering his 18th season, is the longest-tenured. If there are any mistakes, blame them on Vikings.com, cause I copied and pasted it from there.

Say what you will about the morality issues tied in with Mike Vick's return to the NFL, but perhaps it is another QB who's return was much-discussed about whom we should be worrying the most. Brett Favre has been fined ten boxes of ziti (Sopranos marathon, FTW!) for his crackback block on Houston safety Eugene Wilson during the Vikings' preseason win over the Texans this past Monday...

Brett Favre mania is kicking up a few storms in the hobby, and a situation like the Threads card auction doesn’t surprise me one bit.
