Jerome Simpson just destroyed Chris Cook on a go. Not a good matchup if Cook's not jamming. Jenkins just beat him on an in too.

Rookie Josh Robinson just pulled up lame in covg. deep against Jarious Wright. Could be the end of his day?

7 on 7 begins. Ponder throws first incompletion of the day, a deep ball to Simpson. Good accuracy thus far

Christian Ponder was 16-of-17 passing today in team (11-on-11) drills. Not a bad day's work. #Vikings

Joe Webb, on the other hand, started 0-for-6 before completing his next five. Sage Rosenfels was 6-for-8. #Vikings
