Bad, Bad, maybe good?, Bad

@GoesslingESPN Anthony Barr not practicing; Eric Kendricks left after stretching. Sharrif Floyd doing some running on the side. Joe Berger also out.

@christomasson So Floyd definitely missed practice just ran on side we will have see what deal is with Kendricks

@EDOslund Kendricks went inside after stretching, Floyd and Berger were present but not participating and Barr was absent from #Vikings practice.

‏@GoesslingESPN Kendricks missed a snap on Sunday, but then came back. It is only Wednesday; Vikings could just be exercising caution.

@Andrew_Krammer #Vikings DE Justin Trattou (foot) returned to practice for first time since he was injured in Sept. 27 game

SO...MANY...FEELS! (not the good of the feels).

@mattvensel Five #Vikings starters sat out practice today: Stefon Diggs, Anthony Barr, Eric Kendricks, Joe Berger and Sharrif Floyd.

@GoesslingESPN Anthony Barr out of practice today with a low back injury, Eric Kendricks out with ribs. Joe Berger out with a chest injury.

@christomasson #Vikings coach Mike Zimmer had said Stefon Diggs would participate but injury report says he didn't. Hamstring issue.

@christomasson Limited in practice today were Trattou (foot), Griffen (neck), Tom Johnson (knee), Cole (finger)

@christomasson It's unclear the severity of injuries involving Barr, Kendricks and Berger.

@mattvensel Everson Griffen, Tom Johnson, Audie Cole and Justin Trattou were limited. Rhett Ellison and T.J. Clemmings were full participants. #Vikings

Sheesh, who's going to play linebacker?

Greenway is timeless.

Greenway is timeless.

Yes, but he can still only play one position at a time, right?

At minimum.

Diggs, Berger return. Barr & Kendricks...status not clear (neither practiced). Not looking great for Floyd (DNP)

Donning a helmet, receiver Stefon Diggs took part in receiver drills during the open portion of practice on Thursday.

Diggs left Sunday's win in Chicago a couple times in the fourth quarter due to a hamstring injury, which held him out of Wednesday's practice. His return on Thursday is a good sign for a Vikings' passing attack that has sputtered, but thrived when targeting Diggs, a rookie fifth-round pick who has set the NFL record with at least 85 receiving yards in each of his first four games.

Center Joe Berger also returned after being held out on Wednesday. Berger (chest) is expected to play Sunday against St. Louis, according to a source with knowledge of his injury. Berger and Diggs were officially 'limited' participants on the injury report.

The status of linebackers Anthony Barr (low back) and Eric Kendricks (ribs) isn't as clear. Both walked through position drills on Thursday as the only linebackers without helmets.

Coach Mike Zimmer declined to discuss whether or not Barr or Kendricks are expected to play Sunday. They were both officially listed as not practicing on Thursday, the second straight day they've been held out.

Defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd (ankle/knee) was also held out of practice again. It seems unlikely he'll be able to return this week. Floyd hasn't practiced since the Oct. 18 game against Kansas City.

Five players were limited for the Vikings, including defensive end Everson Griffen (neck), defensive end Justin Trattou (foot), Diggs, Berger and safety Harrison Smith (neck), who was added to the injury report on Thursday.

Linebacker Audie Cole (finger), tackle T.J. Clemmings (neck), tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion) and defensive tackle Tom Johnson (knee) were designated as 'full participants.'

If Barr and Kendricks can't play, I fear Gurley could have a big game.

[Norv Zimmer]

If Barr and Kendricks can't play, I fear Gurley could have a big game.

Would be a mixture of cole,watts, and robinson along with Greenway I thinks.
I have a feeling barr and kendricks are gonna play though, they are just giving them rest, this game is too important.

[PurpleKoolaid]

Not a good game to have semi injured LBs playing

[jackal]

This might be just needed rest and being cautious ...I really want their speed in the defense ...time will tell.

That's what I'm thinking. Floyd being the exception.

Floyd and Kendricks both ruled out. Barr is questionable. This is already looking bad

[Pondering Her Percy]

We better hope that this offense can learn how to score for once because we are definitely going to struggle with Gurley now. I'm not worried about our pass defense vs Foles but our run defense might be pretty bad. Norv better have a game plan so Teddy can get the ball out quick and the line can open up some holes for AD. If Teddy holds the ball as long as he did vs. Chicago, he's going to get destroyed.
