Eli wrote: The Vikings replaced DT Spencer Nealy with RB Bradley Randle on the practice squad. I'm a little surprised they haven't promoted Joe Banyard to the active roster. So they must expect Toby Gerhart to play this Sunday. Surely they wouldn't go into a game with Jerome Felton as their only healthy ball carrier.
They still have Matt Asiata so if neither Gerhart or peterson can go, Asiata and Felton would probably get the carries.
Any word yet on bringing back Harrison Smith?
They plan to play him on Sunday but he probably won't start and he may only see limited action.

Forgot about Asiata (which isn't hard to do).

Maybe that's the case. I was basing my post on a report I had just heard on the radio but I can't find confirmation of it online, just reports that he's "expected' to be activated.

Webb saw 2 snaps on Sunday vs. Baltimore, allowed two QB hurries. Would have to fill-in in run-heavy formations should Ford, Ellison be out

Is that Joe or J'Marcus Webb? I could see either Joe Webb playing TE or J'Marcus Webb lining up as a sixth lineman.

Sherels and Ellison will start in place of Rhodes and Carlson, per Frazier. #Vikings
Blanton has worked on outside CB due to injuries, per Frazier.
Peterson's gait was good, Frazier said. Able to plant, push off. "He looked far better than I anticipated." #Vikings

Boy, if the offense can't keep up... this might be the ugliest game of the year coming up.
Pull yr 84 jerseys out.

Really liked Banyard in preseason, not as a power back obviously but as the 3rd down pass catching back he was pretty solid.
