After weeks of speculation, Minnesota Vikings left tackle Bryant McKinnie has officially been suspended four games for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

McKinnie was suspended without pay after his offseason arrest in Miami. McKinnie faces four charges, including felony battery, after an incident with a nightclub employee.

McKinnie’s suspension begins Saturday. He is eligible to return to the Vikings’ active roster on Sept. 29 after the team’s Sept. 28 game against Tennessee.

In more news that will bust Viking fans’ balls, quarterback Tarvaris Jackson is reportedly walking around with a limp, too.

With McKinnie out for four games, Jackson (if he can even play) might feel major pressure come from his blind side. Minnesota will face defensive ends Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (Packers), Dwight Freeney (Colts), Julius Peppers (Panthers) and Kyle Vanden Bosch (Titans) during McKinnie’s suspension.

The sound you hear is people breaking their ankles jumping off the Vikings’ bandwagon.

A source told ESPN.com that Vikings’ quarterback Tarvaris Jackson suffered a sprain MCL in Minnesota’s 23-15 victory over the Ravens on Saturday.

The MCL injury could keep Jackson out of the Vikings’ preseason game next Saturday against the Steelers but the injury isn’t considered serious enough to sideline him for the start of the regular season.

Vikings coach Brad Childress labeled the injury a contusion. Jackson was hit in the knee while making a run toward the right sidelines in the first quarter of the game.

Jackson, who was seven of 11 passing for 82 yards, stayed in the game a couple of plays before the pain in the knee forced him to the ground.

Viking fans can probably breath a sign of relief, but Jackson has had knee problems before. This is arguably Jackson’s make or break season and with such high expectations, it would be a shame if he wasn’t healthy to start the season. Hopefully this report is right and the injury isn’t serious.
