Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar, here.

And you guys will never believe this, but it's actually true.

The Minnesota Vikings got some injury news that is not catastrophic.

Now, it's not perfect, but it's also not the worst case

scenario for Brian O'Neill, who Ian Rappaport reported today has a sprained MCL, and he is going

to be out for several weeks. It's called week to week. When you think about it, how the upcoming schedule

works out, you have this week, play the Cleveland Browns, next week you've got a buy week,

and then come back and play the Philadelphia Eagles. And after that, the Los Angeles Chargers,

so in a best case scenario for Brian O'Neill possibly could return coming out of the bye

week. And when a guy goes down like that and he's pretty quickly ruled out and then you hear

anything ending with CL, you start to think, could this be another long term type of injury,

maybe season ending or something like that?

But the Vikings will have to survive against a very good Cleveland Brown's defensive line without Brian O'Neill.

And the Vikings will have to probably manage something like this

to get him back on the field as soon as possible, but also, you know,

you wonder about the longer term within the season.

But if it's an MCL, it's two, three weeks, maybe four, then you're not losing Brian O'Neill for the season, but if it's an MCL, it's two, three weeks, maybe four, then you're not losing

Brian O'Neill for the season. That's maybe the best injury news that they could have asked

for after Brian O'Neill goes out in that game the way that he did. But now the offensive line
