I have no idea what that means and the sports medicine guy I follow in Twitter has surprisingly not mentioned it yet so I have no further insight. It doesn't help that the team is so mum on these things. Usually if they're not specific or brushing it off (like Zimmer did with Peterson, saying "He'll be fine") I'm right there with you.

christomasson Didn't see Sharrif floyd or Justin trattou at practice Adrian Peterson on side with wrap on rt leg. So don't count on seeing Sharrif Floyd Sunday

@christomasson Audie cole was holding his helmet

Adrian Peterson was at practice standing around with helmet on hard to say how much he will do

‏@christomasson Adrian Peterson says he is ready to go Sunday

@christomasson Audie cole who has finger injury anticipates he will play Sunday

@christomasson Tom Johnson confirmed he will start Sunday again In place of injured Sharrif Floyd

@Andrew_Krammer OUT for #Vikings: TE Rhett Ellison (concussion), DT Sharrif Floyd (ankle/knee) and DE Justin Trattou (foot)

@Andrew_Krammer Adrian Peterson (finger/hip/ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday after returning to practice on Friday. #Vikings

@Andrew_Krammer LB Audie Cole (finger) has also been ruled OUT vs. Bears. #Vikings

dead_poet wrote:From what I understand both Clemmings and Griffen had stingers. Painful but not terribly serious from what I understand. Diggs may have rolled an ankle late and hopefully it's very minor but I haven't read anything. A little concerning as after he ran/limped off (I think the play before Charles Johnson's heroic catch) he slammed his helmet down in frustration. Never a good sign but not necessarily indicative of a severe or even moderate injury. More information as it's revealed. Hopefully Floyd is back this week. We miss him in the lineup and Tom Johnson didn't have his best game.

Watts looked like he broke something but he also came back in the game. I can't recall any other major injuries....

"I'll be OK," Griffen said. "I'm a warrior, but (shoulder stingers) hurt bad. I'm one tough (guy), but, whoo. I've been dealing with them for awhile. They're getting better, but we've got to figure out what I've got to do."

Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer said Griffen would "be fine." He played in his second straight game after sitting out Oct. 18 against Kansas City because of illness, ending a streak of 79 straight games played.

Tackle T.J. Clemmings also suffered a shoulder stringer in the fourth quarter. He left for a few plays and was replaced by fellow rookie Austin Shepherd before returning.

"I'm fine," Clemmings said. "It's part of the game. It happens every now and then. It's not a big deal."

dead_poet wrote: Unfortunately yes. He underwent a second procedure on his back (had some kind of setback). Likely out for the rest of the season.

PurpleKoolaid wrote: Dam, I hadnt heard he was out for the season. Thats a big blow. IMO Berger just isnt cutting it.

@christomasson Justin trattou out since sept 27 with sprained left ankle said he expects to do some work in practice today

@christomasson Mike Zimmer said Stefon Diggs, who left briefly late in Sunday's game, will practice today
