Free agent corner back Chris Carr could have a job soon.

He is expected to work out for the San Diego Charges this week. Withe the Chargers bringing in Carr for at least a work out, it means that nickel corner back Shareece Wright is not close to returning.

He has met with the Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle on September 5th. He was released by the Minnesota Vikings on August 31st.

Carr signed with the Vikings in April after being released the Baltimore Ravens on March 1st. The Ravens elected to release him instead of pay him $2.5 million this season.

Christian Ponder's accuracy improving week by week

Via 60 Max Power O  |  September 17, 2012
Minnesota Vikings' second year quarterback Christian Ponder has shown signs of improvement from last year, and even last week.  Although the Vikings lost to the Colts yesterday, 23-20, Ponder's accuracy has improved. Ponder was a respectable 20-27 last week for 270 yards.  No interceptions, no touchdowns, just moved the ball down the field.  This week, Ponder was 27...

Vikings need touchdowns, not field goals

Via Fox Sports North  |  September 16, 2012
If the Minnesota Vikings have proved one thing through two games this season, their games must be watched until the very end. The game is not over until that final second ticks off the clock. Sunday at Indianapolis looked very similar to last week when Minnesota rallied in the final seconds and won in overtime. The Vikings were on the flip side in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the...

Vikings’ Stephen Burton catches crazy tip pass

Jason WhitneyI think for fantasy purposes, the Vikings’ Stephen Burton touchdown catch should be split between his teammates that helped successfully complete the tip drill for the crazy touchdown catch. Unfortunately, this wouldn’t be enough, as the Minnesota Vikings lost to the Indianapolis Colts, as a 53 yard field goal sailed through the uprights for the game winner. The...

After winning 26-23 in overtime in Week 1, Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier was asked if he was bracing for a "wild ride" this season. Frazier simple answer was, "It could be."

Kuharsky's notes on Colts-Vikings

Via The Colts Authority  |  September 17, 2012
Paul Kuharsky of ESPN says that he loved Luck's pocket presence and mobility during the Vikings matchup, among other notes.  What I liked: Luck is just fantastic on the move, whether it’s a relatively small step up or slide over or a big rollout or run away from pursuit. Obviously he cannot lose 22 yards trying to run out of a late sack and has to surrender at times. But...
