EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.
Mickael Landreau France Jersey . -- The
Minnesota Vikings have lost another starting offensive lineman, with right
tackle Andre Smith scheduled for surgery on his right triceps muscle.Coach Mike
Zimmer said that Smith will have the procedure performed Tuesday and be placed
on injured reserve, likely ending his season.Smith, who signed with the Vikings
this year as a free agent, was hurt during the game last week and sat out Sunday
against Houston. Jeremiah Sirles has stepped in for Smith, who was the sixth
overall pick in the 2009 draft by Cincinnati.Left tackle Matt Kalil is also on
injured reserve after having hip surgery three weeks ago. Hes been replaced by
T.J. Clemmings.Free agent Jake Long was at Winter Park on Monday for a workout,
Zimmer said. Long was the first overall pick in the 2008 draft by Miami, but he
struggled with injuries the past two seasons with St. Louis and then Atlanta,
which did not re-sign him.Phil Loadholt was going to compete with Smith at right
tackle, but he aborted his comeback attempt from a torn Achilles tendon just
before training camp and decided to retire.Mike Harris, who filled in for an
injured Loadholt in 2014 and started at right guard in 2015, has been unable to
play this year because of an unspecified medical condition. Zimmer said Monday
that Harris likely wont return this season.Weve overcome a lot of hurdles and
some adversity early in the year, quarterback Sam Bradford said.I think everyone
understands when somebody goes down it just means its an opportunity for the
next guy to come in and step up and play well, unfortunately. Weve had a lot of
guys answer the call.---Online:AP NFL website:

.ca. Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that
we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious
that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth
lines were on to start. OKLAHOMA CITY -- A man who gunned down a Southwest
Airlines employee outside of Oklahoma Citys airport likely did so in retaliation
for having lost his own job with the airline last year, police said
Wednesday.Lloyd Dean Buie, 45, killed 52-year-old Michael Winchester on Tuesday
as Winchester was leaving work and walking to an employee parking lot, police
Capt. Paco Balderrama said at a news conference. Buie fired the shot from the
fourth floor of a parking garage when Winchester was about 50 yards away, he
said. Buie was later found dead in his pickup truck in the garage.We know his
intention was to go to the airport to hurt someone, Balderrama said. The suspect
knew where the employees parked and where they would be walking.Winchester died
from a single gunshot wound to the chest, the Oklahoma Medical Examiners Office
ruled Wednesday. Buies death was ruled a suicide from a single gunshot wound to
the head.Buie quit his job as a ramp agent for Southwest in April 2015 after he
refused to take an alcohol screening, airline spokeswoman Brandy King said
Wednesday. She said co-workers had suspected Buie was under the influence at
work, but she declined to say if Winchester, a ramp supervisor who had worked
for Southwest for 29 years, was involved.Our Southwest family is grieving, as we
are deeply saddened by the loss of our family member. Our focus remains on
offering support to the Winchester family and Southwest employees during this
difficult time, King said.Police said Winchester wasnt Buies immediate
supervisor, but they believe the circumstances surrounding Buies quitting were
likely his motive for the attack.The Associated Press tried calling four of
Buies family members, but the calls either rang unanswered or the numbers had
been disconnected.
Remy Cabella France Jersey. Winchester, who
has a listed address in Washington, a community about 35 miles south of the
airport, was a former University of Oklahoma football player whose son James is
a long snapper for the Kansas City Chiefs.Chiefs players and coaches expressed
support for their teammate Wednesday, with head coach Andy Reid saying James
Winchester had returned to Oklahoma to be with his family and that he didnt know
if hed return in time for Sundays game against Tampa Bay. Punter Dustin Colquitt
said he spoke to Winchester, who told him: Obviously this is a tough time for my
family, but I appreciate the thoughts and prayers.The shooting set off a
scramble at Will Rogers World Airport, with police immediately closing the
sprawling complex and asking passengers to seek cover.Police found Buies pickup
truck in the parking garage about three hours after the shooting. They used a
robot to determine he was dead inside it before giving the all-clear.Balderrama
said Buie likely would have needed a scope on his rifle to shoot Winchester from
that distance.It would definitely require familiarity with a rifle, he said. You
dont have to be an expert marksman to hit a 50-yard shot, but its not an easy
shot either.The attack led to the cancellation of 25 flights. Normal airport
operations resumed Wednesday.---Associated Press sports writers Sean Murphy in
