Vikings DE Jared Allen Held Out Of Practice, QB Christian Ponder Limited

Found October 03, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jared Allen,  Christian Ponder,  Michael Jenkins,  Mistral Raymond,  Andrew Sendejo,  Charlie Johnson,  Antoine Winfield,  Marcus Sherels
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings
Green-bay-packers
Vikings defensive end Jared Allen was one of four players who did not practice Wednesday, still dealing with a groin injury he suffered in the second half of last weekend's win at Detroit. Also out today were receiver Michael Jenkins (ribs) and safeties Mistral Raymond (ankle) and Andrew Sendejo (ankle).

Quarterback Christian Ponder, meanwhile, was a limited participant in practice with a knee injury. Ponder's knee injury isn't figured to be serious but will be worth keeping an eye on as the week progresses. Other Vikings limited today were Henerson (concussion), left guard Charlie Johnson (low back), cornerback Antoine Winfield (knee) and corner Marcus Sherels (quadriceps).

Ponder: 'We got answers for everything'

Via Fox Sports North  |  October 03, 2012
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Christian Ponder's development in his second year as the Minnesota Vikings quarterback has been a key, along with a revived defense, to the team's surprise resurgence. Minnesota, with Ponder as the only starting quarterback in the league without an interception, is tied with the Chicago Bears at the top of the NFC North standings. Ponder is a big reason...

Vikings the 2012 surprise playoff team

Via Denver Sports Chat  |  October 02, 2012
Minneapolis, MN Before the 2012 NFL season began, it was basically a forgone conclusion that when dissecting the NFC North, it would end up being a three team race. You had the perennial powerhouse Packers, who lost just one regular season game in 2011, and were looking to bounce back after a shocking home loss in the playoffs. You had the upstart Lions, who made the playoffs...

Ponder and the Vikings emerge as dark horse contenders

Via The Penalty Flag  |  October 05, 2012
While it’s still a little early to label the Minnesota Vikings as NFC North favorites, they certainly look like the most consistent team in the division. Christian Ponder has been playing solid football and looks to be a promising quarterback for a Vikings team that hasn’t seen much consistency at the position in the last decade or more. The defense has looked good enough and...

Jared Allen misses practice again

Via Pro Football Zone  |  October 04, 2012
Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen once again missed practice on Thursday with a groin injury.  With each passing day that he doesn’t practice, it’s more likely that he’ll not play this week against the Titans. If Allen can’t go, Everson Griffin would likely get the start in his place.

(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By DAVE CAMPBELL AP Pro Football Writer One quarter through the season, there is one starting quarterback left in the NFL who hasn't thrown an interception. It is Minnesota's Christian Ponder, the same guy who turned the ball over a lot, often at critical times, as a rookie last year. A full offseason of learning the offense...

Matt Kalil has not allowed a sack so far in his NFL career

Via NFL Draft Zone  |  October 02, 2012
A big reason that the Vikings are off to a good record is the due in fact to the protection that Christian Ponder has received.  Ponder has not thrown an interception all year and has not seen a real pressure yet from his blindside because the Vikings first-round LT Matt Kalil hasn’t allowed a sack through four games. Kalil, the No. 4 overall pick in the draft, has been as good...
