The Facts:
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin had been dealing with a hamstring issue heading into Week 9, but he played through it for two-plus quarters Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. The hamstring tightened in the third quarter, but that didn't keep Harvin off the field for long. He returned only to suffer a severe ankle sprain late in the quarter. Harvin had a noticeable limp for the rest of the game. Injuries and quarterback Christian Ponder's underwhelming play limited his production to two receptions for 10 yards and four carries for 24 yards. Harvin will undergo tests on Monday to determine the nature and severity of the ankle sprain.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Harvin was one of many big name fantasy buzz kills on Sunday, however we have to give him credit for toughing it out. While there is always some sort of drama around Harvin and his practice schedule over the years, he rarely misses a game. We'll have to wait for an official diagnosis on Harvin's ankle injury to determine how it will impact his availability for next week. The Vikings have a bye coming up in Week 11.
