GRAIN OF SALT

Zimmer said he expects Elflein and Remmers back this week. Possibly Reiff.

Reiff walked into practice without a boot.

Haven't read about Morgan or Rudolph (?).

He did say in his presser that he expects to get a lot of players back this week. Seemed pleased about it

How does this: "Zimmer expects Elflein and Remmers to be back this week and a possibility of Reiff as well."

turn in to an article titled this?: Vikings Should Be Close To Full Strength On The Offensive Line

Sure Zimmer expects his players to be back. Just like how he expects his trainers to get his players back healthy. Will they be ready for Sunday? That's a totally different question.

Well if Elflein and Remmers are practicing then that makes me feel a lot better

Full injury report. Glad to see we're making up our injury quota for the year in one week.

Sheesh 14 on the list...Thanks DP
Are we going to have any healthy TE's. That could be a concern.

I think Morgan. They haven't called up Kyle Carter (yet) from what I've read. So probably will have Bell back as well. Kinda wish we still had Bucky.

What's odd is he's not playing for anybody. Panthers cut him and nobody picked him up.

Any update on Bradford? It's been eerily quiet for him since going on IR. Such a bizarre thing, too, since he was listed basically as "week to week" from Week 1 to Week 5 but then got placed on IR still after not really seeing an injury happen in a game.

Pretty weird to think that if he's actually getting healthy while on IR we could have Keenum, Bridgewater, AND Bradford for the playoffs and we'd still probably start Keenum. We're in bizzarro-land.
