It was not immediately known if it was the same leg in which Childs tore the patella tendon during his junior season at the University of Arkansas.

Minnesota Vikings WR Greg Childs (knee) was slowed in 2011 as the result of a torn patellar tendon suffered in 2010. Offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave is looking to take advantage of his speed, as long as he is healthy. 'He's got the speed to get down the field. But he also has the size to muscle little DBs at the same time,' Musgrave said. 'We're counting on the human body healing up. With the significant injury he had, it's usually a 15-to-18 month healing process. And he's just getting to that threshold.'
