Minnesota Vikings
It appears rookie running back Adrian Peterson won’t have to undergo surgery again to repair his collarbone. According to the StarTribune.com, the team’s new orthopedic doctor, Dr. Joel Boyd, ruled out surgery for Peterson and now it’s apparent he’ll be able to go full bore when training camp kicks off later this summer.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
According to the St. Petersburg Times cornerback Brian Kelly was a no show at Tampa’s second round of OTA’s, but it should be noted that the workouts are voluntary. Regardless, it’s never a good thing when a starter doesn’t show up for work. Kelly was rumored to be offered by the Bucs to the Lions in part for the number two pick in last month’s draft, so he might be a bit miffed with the team right now. Plus apparently he’s not happy about his contract.
Dallas Cowboys
Linebacker Greg Ellis is reportedly upset with his current contract according to the Star-Telegram. Ellis said he has given up money to stay with the team before, now he’s looking for the same curtesy from the Cowboys. Here’s the thing though Greg, you’re 32, coming off a major injury and your eventual replacement (Purdue’s Anthony Spencer) was just selected in the first round. I’m not saying it’s fair, but it’s the nature of the beast.
