Minnesota Vikings' starting quarterback Christian Ponder will not play tonight vs. the Green Bay Packers, reports Kevin Seifert of ESPN.
As it stands right now, Joe Webb will start at quarterback for the Vikes.
Webb is a third-year pro and has made an appearance in 17 games. In those 17 games, Webb has completed 88 passes on 152 attempts, racked up 853 yards passing, while rushing for 273 yards and 4 touchdowns.
It is obvious that the Vikings will try to be as cautious as they can with the inexperienced backup. Heck, they're cautious with Ponder, and he's the starter. It's safe to say Adrian Peterson will see an increase in carries tonight. They're going to give the ball to AP, and they're going to give it to him a lot -- they'll probably give him 35+ carries.
