Vikings QB Culpepper Sprains Knee

Viking quarterback Daunte Culpepper left his team's game against the Carolina Panthers with a sprained right knee. His return is doubtful.

Culpepper ran for an 18-yard gain on the final play of the first quarter when he was hit by multiple defenders. Carolina cornerback Chris Gamble came in from the side and tackled Culpepper's leg and he immediately grabbed his knee.

Culpepper was helped off the field and taken to a cart for the ride into the locker room.
