Still rehabbing from the knee injury suffered last September, the Houston Texans guard Chester Pitts is now on his way back to NFL, but it’s very unlikely for him to return with the Texans. According to recent reports, other teams have been in contact with the veteran, and one of them is the Minnesota Vikings.
Pitts recently told reporters that he received phone call from the Vikings last week and was asked about the rehab process. The Seattle Seahawks also contacted him, but it seems that the Vikings attracted more attention from the public because of their roster moves during the offseason.
After losing Artis Hicks to the Washington Redskins during free agency, the Vikings have been in lack of a qualified replacing offensive lineman. Although the drafted former Wake Forest lineman Chris DeGeare from the fifth-round of 2010 NFL draft, there is still a void in the starting line. Replacement for Hicks must be like the former starter, veteran and versatile, and that are the very traits making Pitts the best choice. Besides, having Pitts put on Vikings jersey would be cheap as he is just coming off a microfracture surgery. What’s more, Vikings head coach Brad Childress would like Pitts to be in his offensive line the 32-year-old veteran has been famous for being a finesse blocker instead of an overpowering one.
