The Minnesota Vikings started their week of practice in preparation for the New Orleans Saints with only two players limited in Wednesday’s practice. That changed for the worse on Thursday.
Cornerback Terence Newman didn’t participate in Thursday’s practice because of a foot injury and defensive end Everson Griffen was added to the injury report (limited) with a foot injury.
Reserve defensive tackle Shamar Stephen remained limited with an ankle injury, just like he was on Wednesday.

Not worried. Newman will be fine and Griffen has been banged up all year.

You know what I don't see? OL injuries.

Any injuries for NO????

Here's all I know of:

New Orleans will be without starting left guard Andrus Peat, who landed
on injured reserve after suffering a broken fibula against the Carolina
Panthers, and will be starting Senio Kelemete in his place

Griff has looked like he's been hurting for at least the past three games. I'm sure he'll play, but man, it'd be nice to have him play at his usual speed.

Really hope they're just being cautious with Griff. I know his foot has been an issue but was thinking the extra week would help him heal up a bit.

i think plantar faciatis is supposed to take a long rest to heal. If so, he won't be at full speed again tnis season.

I don't think the Vikings have "added" anyone to the injury report. They're just resting players who've been nursing the same injuries for weeks.

They are all banged up. They got beat up in the Wild Card game.

Brandon Coleman - WR - Saints

Brandon Coleman (neck) is out for Sunday's Divisional Round game against the Vikings.
He couldn't get the green light after missing practice all week. Coleman (6'6/225) would have had a distinct size advantage over Terence Newman (5'10/197) in the slot. His absence will open up snaps for Willie Snead.

I've had it. It takes forever. You can work through the pain, but it never feels good. It always feels like something is going to rip in half.
