faba Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Culpepper's knee reportedly improving ESPN.com news services Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper, who had surgery to repair torn ligaments in his right knee, appears to be on course to be back for the 2006 season, the Star-Tribune of Minneapolis reported. The paper reported that Vikings trainer Eric Sugarman told coach Brad Childress that Culpepper's progress is improving. The quarterback is rehabbing in Orlando, Fla. Last week, Culpepper said he planned to play for the Vikings in spite of reports that the organization is considering trading him. "I have found over the years that people with knowledge of the situation are usually the most ignorant, and anonymous sources are usually synonymous with cowards who don't want to go on the record," Culpepper said last Thursday in an e-mail to ESPN and The Associated Press. "My position has been and continues to be that I am focusing on rehabilitating my knee so that I can come back and play the game I love at the highest level." The Vikings would owe Culpepper a $6 million roster bonus by mid-March, but the Star-Tribune reported that Brad Johnson could replace Culpepper as the starter for next season.
