On Friday the Minnesota Vikings added defensive end Kenechi Udeze to the reserve non football illness list, officially ending any chance of him suiting up for the 2008 season. The move also shows compassion from a Vikings management team that has faced scrutiny in the past for their treatment of some players - specifically last season when they docked wide receiver Troy Williamson a full game check for missing a game due to a death in the family. The story gained national attention and the Vikings later agreed to pay him for the game he missed. By placing Udeze on the non football illness reserve list, he will still be guaranteed his $807,000+ salary for 2008. This will allow Udeze to fully focus on winning his battle with leukemia.
