I don't like it either. Not with this particular offense and its offensive line. It doesn't make sense to me. Didn't Teddy just have a concussion?

@Andrew_Krammer Eric Kendricks, rehabbing rib injury, was "kind of close" to playing last week, Zimmer said. "I think he should be good to go." #Vikings

@GoesslingESPN Eric Kendricks back at practice during open portion.
@mattvensel Only #Vikings player not practicing in some capacity was Matt Kalil. Tom Johnson missed the stretch but came out shortly thereafter.
Uh oh.

At least it's not a knee.
@Andrew_Krammer Matt Kalil did not practice today because of a toe injury. Only #Vikings player held out on Wednesday.

This has to be minor, right? He didn't let up at all during his last 80-yard carry.
@christomasson Adrian Peterson was a limited participant today because of a hamstring injury

At least Rodgers is also dealing with a shoulder injury too.
@christomasson Teddy Bridgewater was said to have a shoulder injury but was a full participant in practice

@christomasson #Vikings LB Anthony Barr on hand injury: “I’m getting there. I’m still working to get to 100 percent, and I feel like I’m close.’’

@mattvensel Tom Johnson, Matt Asiata and Sharrif Floyd went from limited to full participation today, so that's a good sign for those guys. #Vikings

If Kalil plays, that would mean our team is for all intents and purposes as healthy as they have been all year. That's great for us, especially when you contrast it with Green Bay's health right now.


Also, thank you so much for being our official Twitter feed, DP. I really can't thank you enough for that.

Looks like some good news. Hope this doesnt change by Sunday. I assume the game is at 3:00 by now? Or still a 12:00 game?

Not sure where you are but the game is at 4:25 EST. Almost the entire country will get the game except for some of the west coast and I guess half of Alaska.

Yikes, a prime time game. Those always scare me. Prolly have Aikman/Buck. Or is buck doing football? Havent heard a game from him in ages (thank god, although not having Barber every week will be nice).
