Leslie Frazier: 'Josh Freeman will get a chance to play'

Leslie Frazier has said that Josh Freeman will get a chance to play for the Minnesota Vikings.

The quarterback joined the NFC North side earlier this week following his release from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The head coach told reporters: "There are some challenges, but there are some things you can do to try to condense things and try to help a guy get on the field.

"We'll work as hard as we can. He wants to work and get it. We'll put something together where hopefully real soon he'll have a chance to be able to get on the field."

The Vikings' regular starter, Christian Ponder, missed their last game with a rib injury, resulting in backup Matt Cassel taking his place.
