Sounding the Gjallarhorn: Vikings TE with 'Warrior Mentality'
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The man who will sound the Gjallarhorn to announce the arrival of the Vikings for Sunday’s Wild Card game against the Seahawks is a player who helped Minnesota make the postseason.
Vikings tight end Rhett Ellison suffered a torn patellar tendon in Minnesota’s Week 17 victory at Green Bay. The injury requires an estimated six months of recovery, forcing the 2012 fourth-round pick to miss the Vikings first postseason trip since his rookie season. Ellison, however, will be with teammates in spirit, starting with his sounding of the Gjallarhorn.
