Vikings LB Greenway’s consecutive streak to end

Published

on

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway, who has played in 115 consecutive games, was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Greenway also has 90 straight regular-season starts, the longest of any linebacker in the NFL.

Greenway, who played through a broken wrist for much of last season, suffered a broken hand in the Week 2 loss against the New England Patriots but played last Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. During the game against the Saints, he suffered a rib injury that forced to leave the contest.

The 31-year-old Greenway was the Vikings’ first-round pick in the 2006 NFL draft. He missed his entire rookie season after suffering a torn ACL in the preseason, but he hasn’t missed a game since then.

Head coach Mike Zimmer said Friday that Gerald Hodges and others will help fill Greenway’s void.

Tight end Kyle Rudolph, who has an abdomen/groin issue that is expected to keep him out for at least the next few weeks, has been formally ruled out for Sunday.

Cornerback Josh Robinson was listed as questionable, but Zimmer seemed optimistic in his Friday press conference that he would be able to play Sunday.
