It looks like one of the Vikings big free agent signings of this offseason could be on the bench for as long as 6 weeks. Starting safety Madieu Williams was hurt during a practice and did not play in the preseason game against Seattle. This is when the Vikings first disclosed the injury. Specific details are still cloudy. A potential 6 week injury will mean that Williams will likely miss the first and possibly second game of the season. Signed to a big contract on the first day of free agency, Williams was brought in to fill a hole in the secondary and allow fellow safety Darren Sharper more freedom to move around the field and get interceptions. This injury will mean the Vikings will likely start the season with a fairly untested safety in the defensive secondary. Rookie Tyrell Johnson has shown some promise and could potentially wind up starting or seeing signifigant playing time. Other safeties on the Viking’s roster that could see increased action are second year player Eric Frampton and the much mailgned Michael Boulware, who originally showed promise as a Safety for the Seahawks in 04, but later converted to Linebacker and subsequently lost his starting job, and was eventually cut from the team. Back with the Vikings as a Safety, Boulware may have just gotten the opening he needs. This will continue to be a very exciting training camp battle as there is less than a month to go before the start of the regular football season.
