@murphPPress Harrison Smith back at practice, Linval Joseph doing side conditioning. Anthony Barr, Scott Crichton and Everson Griffen absent. #Vikings
@markcraignfl Joseph was at practice jogging through individual drills. Not practicing, but encouraging
@markcraignfl Griffen didn't practice because of a shoulder injury
For the second straight day, a key Vikings defender returned to practice.
Yesterday, it was safety Harrison Smith. Today, it was nose tackle Linval Joseph, who has missed two straight games with a toe injury. Joseph had a helmet on and was participating in position drills with his fellow defensive linemen before media was booted out of practice.
Outside linebacker Anthony Barr (groin) and defensive end Everson Griffen (shoulder) sat out practice again. They were spotted off to the side doing some activity, though, so they weren’t completely idle.
Defensive end Scott Crichton (neck/concussion) and wide receiver Charles Johnson also sat out. We’re not sure what’s up with Johnson at this point, but we’ll find out later when the injury report comes out.
Careful, boys, it's dangerous over there on the bench.Charles Johnson missed practice with an ankle injury. #Vikings
Everson Griffen (shoulder) told me will play Sun“I’m going to practice (Fri) & see how it feels but I’m going to be playing I should be good
@Andrew_Krammer Anthony Barr and Harrison Smith stood on the sideline without helmets during open portion of Friday practice. Joseph and Griffen practicing.
@Andrew_Krammer Still no Scott Crichton (concussion) at practice for #Vikings, so DE Justin Trattou may go from waived to re-signed to active in two weeks
@christomasson Despite the questionable tag put on him, #Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen had told me yesterday he will play Sunday vs. Chicago.
@mattvensel Linval Joseph and Everson Griffen are listed as questionable. Brandon Watts, Andrew Sendejo and Robert Blanton are probable. #Vikings
@mattvensel Harrison Smith, Anthony Barr, Scott Crichton and Charles Johnson have been officially ruled out for Sunday's game. #Vikings
Well, that's bad news. Smith and Barr need to get healthy. It's a different and better Vikings defense when they play.dead_poet wrote:
I am worried about that too. He is awesome when healthy, but has yet to prove he can stay that way.PurpleKoolaid wrote:Barr is sure injury prone. Starting to get pretty friggin old.
@APkrawczynski Sounds like the #Vikings expect Harrison, Barr and Joseph to be ready this week.
@JosinaAnderson Sources on Vikings RB Adrian Peterson Monday afternoon: "He'll be ready to go on Sunday!”
