Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens ready for opportunity with no concerns about back injury

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:23:06 GMT

As far as veteran quarterback Nick Mullens is concerned, there’s no use going into detail about a back injury that briefly landed him on injured reserve earlier this season. After being named the Vikings’ starter this week, the 28-year-old Mullens skillfully sidestepped every question about his back injury on Wednesday at TCO Performance Center.Asked when exactly it started to bother him, Mullens replied, “It’s a pretty gray area.” Asked if the pain built up over time, he replied, “You could say that.” Asked how his back responded after leading the Vikings to a win over the Las Vegas Raiders last weekend, he replied, “I’m healthy now.”The only thing Mullens was interested in talking about was stepping in to get the Vikings set to play the Bengals on Saturday in Cincinnati. Not that his role changes his preparation too much. In fact, aside from getting more reps in practice, Mullens said he’s been going about his business as...

Russel Balenger was eight years old when a suspicious fire destroyed the 18-room house his family lived in at St. Anthony Avenue and Fisk Street, a rooming house of sorts that his parents ran for Black railroad workers. That was in 1958, not long before construction of Interstate 94 claimed what was left of his home and bore a literal cavity through the historically-Black Rondo neighborhood.“It was a hole. It was sand. The sand and the dust would be on the cars and windows,” said Balenger, who recalled the deep trench of the interstate upending houses and businesses by the hundreds. Life would never quite be the same.St. Paul City Council member Russel Balenger. (Courtesy of the St. Paul City Council)His family bought a duplex at Dayton Avenue and Fisk, renting the upstairs to a white family.“You’re very nice people and we have enjoyed living here,” Balenger recalled the couple telling his parents one day. “But we just can’t rent from (n-wor...
