(Oct. 31, 2005) -- Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper will miss the rest of the season and perhaps part of next season because of a severe injury to his right knee. Culpepper sustained damage to the three major ligaments in the knee: the anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate and medial collateral. Coach Mike Tice said that Culpepper, who was hurt on the final play of the first quarter in Sunday's 38-13 loss at Carolina, will have surgery in the coming weeks once the swelling subsides. Recovery from such injuries can take up to a year. "He has a long rehab ahead," Tice said. The Vikings (2-5) will use veteran Brad Johnson as their starter, with Shaun Hill moving up to backup status. Culpepper, bothered with a sprained MCL and bursitis in his knee this season, was hit low and from the side by Panthers cornerback Chris Gamble while scrambling for a first down.</blockquote>
