Percy Harvin To Participate In OTAs

Vikings receiver Percy Harvin, the team’s first-round pick in the 2009 draft, missed a rookie minicamp due to the flu. His absence raised eyebrows, even though the reason for the absence was deemed to be far more reliable than the contents of an excuse signed “Epstein’s mother.” (Yeah, we’re going way back for that one.) Harvin is expected to participate in the team’s Organized Team Activities, which launch Tuesday. “He’s looking forward to it,” agent Joel Segal said, according to Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. “He’s feeling great, and he’s excited to start working.”
