The Facts:
The Vikings dispatched new athletic trainer Eric Sugarman to Florida this week to update Culpepper's progress. Sugarman reported that Culpepper is on schedule, and Brad Childress said it is not out of the question that Culpepper could participate in some non-football drills during spring mini-camp.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That assumes Culpepper is still with the team at that point, a possibility Childress did not address. Culpepper suffered three tore ligaments in his right knee Oct. 30, and most doctors project at least a 12-month recovery period. That timetable concerns most teams who might otherwise be interested in trading for Culpepper. So, it should come as no real surprise to see the coach offering a such a positive, public assessment.
