Sano was out for over a month with a cut on his ankle. Yikes.

No, that happened after his commitment to conditioning. The problem, as is often the case, was with the Twins training staff, who botched the handling of his cut to the point that he had to go to the Mayo and have a bunch of dead tissue removed and the heel re sutured.

Good point

However, Rocco hasn't been laid up for a month now ……

You forgot about the ear infections from the champagne celebration after clinching the division.

The guy who used that stuff in Major League was named Cerrano. Practically Sano.

Diggs is back for today's practice.

But like most offense theirs a wrinkle. Their yac yardage is off the charts so tackling is soo important. If the Vikings can tackle the 49ers offense will fizzle and also will turn the ball over.

George Kittle leads all TEs with missed tackles forced
Deebo Samuel ranks top-three in YAC & missed tackles forced for WRs

The Minnesota #VIkings are the highest graded tackling team in the NFL for the second straight year

I have no clue as to why Stefanski is considered head coaching material. IMO he has shared OC duties with a grizzled vet in Kubiak for one season with mixed results.

Maybe they think he looks decent and love the fact that he's been learning from Kubiak and others.

Maybe give it to his son, the QB coach ?

I believe it was his heel...

They never said it straight out, I don't think, but I believe it must've gotten infected. It wasn't taken care of properly.

imo stefanski makes a lot of mistakes in his offensive play calling...if we lost him, i would not consider that a big problem....

What a good article written up by Rudolph.

The guy has been such a good player/teammate/man the downright disrespect he's received from some fans is quite frankly embarrassing. Just because he wasn't as good as some of the most elite TE's in the game. Some of you squawked loudly and often too. SMH.
