Harvin announced on Twitter last night that he was require surgery on his shoulder. According to multiple reports, he surgery will be minor in nature, an arthroscopic "clean up" procedure. As the Minneapolis Star-Tribune noted this morning, at this stage of the game, making sure Harvin is ready for training camp is vital for the Vikings, who can ill afford to have another one of their stars on the shelf. With RB Adrian Peterson still recovering from major knee surgery and his timeline for a return to full health still uncertain, Harvin will likely be counted on as the focal point of the Vikings' offensive attack until further notice. Last season, Harvin led the Vikings with 87 catches for 967 yards. In total, he had 1,312 yards from scrimmage on 139 offensive touches. In the six games Peterson either didn't play (against Atlanta, Denver, Detroit and Chicago) or was unable to finish due to injury (Oakland, Washington), Harvin had 47 catches for 573 yards and six touchdowns, making the most of his heightened opportunity.
