Vikings Brad Childress always had the support of owner ...

Nov 10, 2010

Vikings Brad Childress always had the support of owner Ziggy Wilf -- until he dumped receiver Randy Moss, after the team traded a third-round draft pick for him last month, without consulting ownership or other top executives.

Although reports suggested Childress would have been fired if the Vikings lost Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals, indications are Wilf is reluctant to give up on this season, given the major investments the team has made for a championship run. But Childress might get ousted when -- and if -- the Vikings notch a seventh loss.

The Vikings rallied from a 14-point deficit with less than five minutes left to force overtime and beat the Cardinals. Afterward, though, nary a player publicly cast a life preserver toward the beleaguered coach.

''We know that Childress doesn't have our backs, so why should we have his?'' one player said. ''We're playing for us, and we're winning despite him.''

A quick update on Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew: he suffered a broken collarbone against the Broncos and is out for the season.

Fantasy Impact:

We had just posted the quote from head coach Antonio Pierce, saying it didn’t look good. It turned out it wasn’t good. Minshew looked like he was in a lot of pain after taking the his late in the game. Now we have an understanding of that pain. Desmond Ridder came on in relief and the team is expected to activate Aidan O’Connell this week from injured reserve. The Raiders visit Kansas City on Friday.

Antonio Pierce on Gardner Minshew injury: ‘It doesn’t look good.’

Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said “It doesn’t look good” in regards to the shoulder injury to quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Fantasy Impact:

Minshew went down late in the game against the Broncos after taking a sack and looked to be in quite a bit of pain. He’ll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury.

Desmond Ridder came on in replacement. He went 5-of-10 for 64 yards and was sacked twice. If Minshew is to miss time, which looks very likely, the Raiders may look to see what they have in the former Falcons quarterback. Vegas is also expected to have Aidan O’Connell back this week. The Raiders are on a short week as they head to Kansas City on Black Friday.

Romeo Doubs ruled out with concussion

Packers WR Romeo Doubs was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the 49ers with a concussion.

Fantasy Impact:

Doubs suffered the injury while attempting a catch in the end zone and landing hard on the back of his helmet. Doubs will not return tonight and it’s almost certain he’ll be ruled out for Thursday night against the Dolphins. If that’s the case, his next chance to return would be the following Thursday against the Lions.
