Vikings RG Anthony Herrera is listed as questionable for Sundayâ€™s game at Detroit after missing practice Wednesday and Thursday following the death of his oldest brother.

first time i've heard about that.
wish him all the best, and although I hope he can come ready to play on sunday, I'd also like to see what Sullivan is able to do in a real game situation.
Of all the games for this to happen, detroit poses the least threat to us.

Childress said he thought he was would be good to go but it wasn't 100% sure...hence questionable I guess lol

I'd say he will though

Might not be a bad thing... Herrera rests for a game, and we get to see if Sullivan is good enough to replace Birk next year, if we don't sign Birk for millions. Of course, the Lions shouldn't pose a really big threat to Sullivan, but it should still be a pretty good indicator of his strengths and weaknesses

How does playing guard for one game equate to playing center?

umm...
well if he gets blown up every play, then maybe its a good indication he's not ready to start on the line yet.

Well.. we won the game and Herrera played throught out the whole game.
Thank God cause from what I saw he did a very good job blocking. It would have been interesting to see Sullivan finally play (I don't think I've ever seen him play) but that could possible have been the difference between winning or losing this week.
