The Facts:
As they prepare for this weekend's mandatory three-day mini-camp, the Vikings have encountered a midseason-size injury list. Starting receivers Nate Burleson and Marcus Robinson recently underwent minor surgeries and will not participate in any of the six scheduled practices, athletic trainer Chuck Barta confirmed Tuesday. Meanwhile, tight end Jim Kleinsasser (knee) will participate in some individual work but are not likely to be a part of most team drills.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Burleson sought surgical treatment two weeks ago for a fractured right middle finger, an injury he suffered last November. Robinson had surgery three weeks ago to remove a cyst from his left knee, a condition that began during the playoffs and worsened during the offseason. ... Robinson and Burleson are expected to be ready for training camp.
