Tarvaris Jackson out for Vikings preseason

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

Tarvaris Jackson sprains his MCL

So how has your life been going lately?

If you are Tarvaris Jackson the answer might be “not good”.

First the Vikings tried to get in the Brett Favre sweepstakes that would have made Brett the starter and not Tarvaris, and then Tarvaris injured his MCL in a preseason game by being too aggressive and was criticized for it.

Jackson will probably miss the preseason as a precaution against further injury as it was just a sprain.

Top it off; Tarvaris did not have a stellar year last year.

the passing game, ranked 28th in 2007, must be better. The deep threat provided by free-agent signee Bernard Berrian should help, but Jackson’s progress is critical.

Could be a tough year for Jackson and the Vikings are depending on him a lot. If the Vikings are to go to the Super Bowl, it will be Tarvaris Jackson that takes them there, whether Adrian Peterson has a great year or not.

Just a note here. Brett was a Packer. Berrian was a Bear. What? No Lion?
