Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could keep lies from conquering the minds of the weak. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.

TFD: Star running back coming off torn ACL had a setback with same knee Sunday
Posted by: Michael Rand under Professional football, Vikings Updated: September 17, 2012 - 5:03 PM
He got banged up a little bit ... on his knee.
Same knee as the ACL tear?
Yeah. ... We all saw it. He came down on the turf, came up limping, so we took him out of the game at that time. I talked to him after the game and he said he wanted to go back in, he was feeling OK, he was getting treatment, so I think he'll be ready to play this week.
Charles had a much better game in Week 1 (16 carries, 87 yards), so this could be a minor and unrelated setback. Still, fans hold their breath anytime a guy like Charles (or Peterson) has even a minor setback coming off such a major injury.
