per Chip:

As Marcus Sherels wages his annual battle for a Vikings roster spot, he also must cope with something more serious and personal.

Sherels is dealing with something far more serious and personal right now, as well. His father died on the eve of the preseason opener, and his funeral will be Saturday. Sherels’ family thinks he should miss the Vikings preseason game Sunday at San Francisco so that he can grieve and attempt to gain some closure. Marcus said he hasn’t decided whether he will catch a flight after the funeral and play in the third preseason game.

“It’s been tough, but I’ve had a lot of support from my teammates and coaches and organization,” Sherels said. “Everyone has been remarkable to me, and they’ve really helped me up.”
