Vikings nose tackle Linval Joseph among four starters missing practice
sheds some light on the Parry signing perhaps...
The Vikings were without four starters in practice Wednesday, including nose tackle Linval Joseph.
Joseph missed two plays in the fourth quarter of last Sunday’s 27-17 win over Arizona at U.S. Bank Stadium with an apparent injury to his left leg. The Vikings will release an injury report later Wednesday.
Also sitting out practice Wednesday were tackle Riley Reiff (foot), safety Andrew Sendejo (groin) and defensive end Everson Griffen. Griffen is away from the team because of a mental-health issue and will miss his fifth straight game Sunday at the New York Jets.
Reiff and Sendejo both missed the Cardinals game. Running back Dalvin Cook, who sat out for a second straight game with a hamstring injury last Sunday, practiced on Wednesday.
Joseph was injured after he banged into teammate Danielle Hunter and apparently hurt his left leg. In the event he can’t play against the Jets, the Vikings added depth at nose tackle by signing David Parry on Tuesday. He took the roster spot of cornerback Mike Hughes, placed on injured reserve after tearing a knee ligament against Arizona.
Reiff hasn't practiced in how long now? Not good.
Starting safety, starting LT, starting NT and starting DE all out. Sigh. Well, depth will get a test on defense Sunday.
he came back and played, so I assume he is ok. Just getting rest to heal fully? Would really like Reiff to come back fully healthy as well.
Our S spot is no worries, I almost like it better this way. However, Hill needs to sit, not Reiff. Linval is awesome, STAY HEALTHY.
