Harvin has illness
Posted by: under Injury report, Vikings, Brad Childress, Vikings injury report, Brad Childress, Percy Harvin Updated: September 24, 2009 - 3:42 PM
Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin was not on the field today because of an illness, coach Brad Childress said after practice.
Asked if the rookie has the much-feared H1N1 virus, Childress said, "I'm not an epidemiologist."
Given the concerns about the sickness it would not be a surprise that the Vikings would tell a player who feels ill to stay at home. The fact Harvin is sick again has to be somewhat a cause for concern.
Harvin missed the Vikings' rookie minicamp in May when he became so ill during a layover at the Atlanta airport that he had to be hospitalized because of dehydration and a virus. Harvin then was sent home from the rookie symposium in June after he told the medical staff that he wasn't feeling well.
Harvin, the Vikings' first round-pick in the April draft, is tied for the team lead with eight receptions for 77 yards and has a team-leading two touchdowns in two games. He also was used last Sunday for one play as the quarterback out of the Wildcat offense.
We'll get you the injury report for today as soon as it's sent.
