Vikings rookie receiver Percy Harvin missed his first NFL game, and he wasn’t even on the sideline with the team’s other inactive players Sunday. Harvin has a history of migraines, chronic headaches that can cause pain for hours or days. Vikings coach Brad Childress said he doesn’t have a “great feel for” migraines yet. “They are so wide ranging, and people report different things. As coaches you want to put it in a box. ‘What is it? It’s a fractured femur. Well how long is that?’ “We will get up to speed as we go through next week, and he will work as hard as anything.” Childress said it “kills” Harvin not to be on the field. “If there is one thing he loves to do, it’s get on this field and compete and play,” Childress said. “He’s a tough guy, but you can’t out-tough this. He’s just in stinking too much pain.” Vikings receiver Sidney Rice said he spoke with Harvin on Saturday night, and he said the rookie was optimistic about playing next Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. “I think he’ll be fine,” Rice said. “Hopefully, he gets everything done, and he’ll be ready for next week.”
