NFL Combine. On April 17, 2004, a minivan collided with his motorbike; he suffered a broken jaw and left hand, a bruised pelvis, and a pulled groin. Several NFL teams expressed interest in watching Lesnar work out. The
Minnesota Vikings worked out Lesnar on June 11, 2004 but he was hampered by the groin injury suffered in the April motorcycle accident.[SUP][/SUP] On July 24 it was reported that he was nearly recovered from his groin injury.He signed with the Vikings on July 27 and played in several preseason games for the team.[SUP][/SUP] He was released by the Vikings on August 30, 2004. Lesnar received an invitation to play as a representative for the Vikings in
NFL Europa but declined due to his desire to stay in the United States with his family.[SUP][/SUP] He had several
football cards produced of him during his time with the Vikings.
