Vikings coach Mike Tice said Michael Bennett will sit out Friday’s game against San Diego with a slightly sprained neck. The move is more precautionary as the team does not want to risk its No. 1 back in a preseason game. Bennett did not practice on Monday.

But Bennett’s absence opens the door for Mewelde Moore to start at tailback. Moore has also returned kicks during the preseason, but will likely see very limited duty in that role as the starter in the backfield. That move will give Ryan Hoag an opportunity to contribute even more on special teams.

dude, whos gonna play the rest of the game at runningback?

just moore and moe williams?

man, and some of you people slammed me when i said we needed another running back. of course, our sitution is not terrible right now, but what if moore or moe goes down?

hmm..

Looks like it's show time.

Now Moore must perform good enough to shine against the first stringers.

You forget about Fason...I haven't seen any reports that said that he was out for this game...also Echumandu can throw in a few carries for one game.

Butchie Wallace unless he's been cut. Chargers have a very good run defense, so the RB's will have their work cut out for them.

Oh brother. I hate injuries, If Moore can do it, more power to him.

I believe it was discussed in another thread that Fason was out 3-4 weeks with a high ankle sprain --- not sure of the source.

Heres our chance to get Edge.....oops I mean Alexander...wait I mean Henry....no, I think George.....no Donovan Darius...thats it....
