"We just felt like it was, from a medical standpoint, too risky to put him out there to take a hit," Frazier said. "He's a tough guy but it probably wouldn't be wise to put him out in that situation."
Ponder, a third-year pro, has struggled this season, throwing two touchdowns and five interceptions for a 65.9 passer rating. He also has lost two fumbles.

"This is something you don't know how many times you'll get a chance to play in a game like this, but it's probably wise since we have a bye coming up,Discount Air Max 720, so he understands."
"I'm hoping that he shines,Cheap MLB T-shirts, but I don't foresee a quarterback controversy," Frazier said. "We want him to play lights out and have the best game of his NFL career on Sunday."
Ponder had taken the majority of snaps in practice Thursday and looked determined to play Sunday.
Also ruled out for the Vikings are cornerback Chris Cook (groin), safety Jamarca Sanford (hamstring), and tight end Rhett Ellison (knee).
If Cassel does shine,Brandon Finnegan Jersey, it could leave Frazier with a decision on who to start against the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 13 after the bye week.
"I've been preparing for this and I feel like I'm ready to go," Cassel said. "I feel comfortable with this offense. I'm excited about it. That's what you prepare for as a backup."
Cassel will replace injured starter Christian Ponder at quarterback against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Wembley Stadium,Cheap Jordans Free Shipping. The Vikings (0-3) ruled out Ponder on Friday with a fractured rib sustained in last weekend's 31-27 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

His veteran presence — you can feel it. So there was no shock this week as he got more and more reps. I think (the team) will handle it the right way."
LONDON (AP) — Matt Cassel will get a chance to steer the Minnesota Vikings to their first win of the season — and maybe put himself in position for a more regular role.
