Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Minnesota Vikings rookie linebacker Chad Greenway will miss the 2006 season with a knee injury suffered in Monday night's exhibition game against Oakland.
Greenway, who played at Iowa and was the Vikings first round draft pick (17th overall), was covering a kickoff in the first quarter when he got hurt and limped off the field.
"The toughest part in this business is dealing with the injuries and this is no different," said Vikings Coach Brad Childress. "It's unfortunate because Chad improved during our mini-camps, OTA's and training camp. He did a pretty good job in the plays he was in there for last night and made a big tackle on special teams.
"Chad will evaluate his options in the upcoming weeks and we are confident he will be completely healthy for the 2007 season. Chad will have the full time to rehab."
