The key to the preseason for NFL teams is to escape uninjured.

That applies to the post-game as well.

The Vikings announced that defensive tackleLinval Joseph was shot in the leg last night at a nightclub after the game.

“Following last night’s preseason game, Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Linval Joseph was an innocent bystander to the shooting that took place at the 400 SoundBar in downtown Minneapolis,” the statement read. “Linval suffered a minor injury during the shooting when a stray bullet struck his calf. He was immediately taken to the hospital where he was treated for his injury and released. He is expected to return to his coaches and teammates this week.

“The entire Vikings organization is extremely thankful that Linval was not seriously hurt, and our thoughts are with all of the victims of this shooting. The team will defer any further comment to the Minneapolis Police Department during its ongoing investigation.”

Whether he’s able to come back and play is secondary at the moment, as he’s fortunate to have suffered only minor injuries.

I was really worried when I saw the title "Joseph shot" on Rotoworld. Thought it was Davin Joseph. Am I a bad person for breathing a sigh of relief when I saw it was Linval?

It happened at 2:00 am. I'm glad it doesn't sound serious, but isn't there a TC curfew?? These guys need to stay low for 6 months out of the year...

Question is ,DO YOU?
Cuz if ya don't maybe you need ta stay home a lil' more
 
Why do these guys still go out at night and get into shit like this? At some point you've got to say, "Nothing but bullshit happens at night." Go home and sleep and not get shot in the legs.
 
I don't know. I think you can be responsible and still go out.
Hard for me to point my finger at a shooting victim who apparently had done nothing wrong.
