Christian Ponder Injury: Vikings Quarterback Says He Had Triceps Scare Last Season

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder told ESPN Wednesday that the bruised triceps on his throwing arm that kept him out of his team's playoff loss at Green Bay has healed fully, but he had a scare about two weeks later when the contusion came back, swelling his arm and hardening the muscles. Ponder said he thought it was a blood clot and went to the emergency room to be safe, while doctors initially wanted to rush him into surgery.
