Holcomb, Taylor To Start For Vikings
29th September, 2007 - 8:13 pm
NFL.com - Minnesota quarterback Tarvaris Jackson's groin is still sore, meaning Kelly Holcomb will get his second straight start when the Vikings play the Packers on Sunday.

Jackson was limited in practice all week with an injury that kept him out of last week's loss to Kansas City. The second-year player was the only Viking listed as questionable Friday.

Minnesota will get a boost with the return of running back Chester Taylor, who injured his hip in the first quarter of the season opener against Atlanta and hasn't played since. Taylor rushed for over 1,200 yards last season and will start against the Packers to help reduce some of the work load on rookie star Adrian Peterson.

"This is the longest I've ever been out since I've been playing," Taylor said. "It killed me to sit on the sidelines and watch everyone play without me being up in there. So I'm going to try and do whatever I can to help my team this week." [READ]
