Minnesota Vikings

The Kansas City Chiefs are winless no more. The Minnesota Vikings wish they could say the same.

Viking running back Adrian Peterson was back in at practice in a limited capacity Thursday with a calf injury. He's expected to play and could have a big day against Kansas City Sunday. Ryan Mathews ran for 92 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Chiefs last week. Peterson is 6th in the NFL in rushing yards through 3 games this season.

The Vikings rested running back Adrian Peterson at practice Wednesday because of a sore calf. The move is precautionary according to head coach Leslie Frazier and Frazier expects Peterson to be fine today. Middle linebacker E.J. Henderson also missed practice Wednesday with a knee injury. He's status is more uncertain for Sunday at Kansas City.

Viking head coach Leslie Frazier is sticking with Donavan McNabb as his starting quarterback. He made that announcement Monday at his press conference but did indicate that McNabb needs to be more accurate on some of his throws. McNabb was 22-36 passing with 211 yards with 1 touchdown and no interceptions Sunday against Detroit.

The Vikings lost their 3rd straight game despite leading into the 4th quarter Sunday when Detroit came from behind to beat the Vikings 26-23 in overtime. Ryan Longwell kicked a 49-yard field goal with 1:11 left in regulation to force overtime before Jason Hanson kicked the game-winning field goal in overtime for Detroit.

Matthew Stafford threw two touchdown passes to rally the Lions from a 20-0 halftime deficit, and Jason Hanson kicked a 32-yard field goal in overtime that lifted Detroit to a 26-23 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

The Vikings lost for a 2nd straight week after holding the lead for much of the game Sunday. Tampa Bay came from behind to beat the Vikings 24-20. Minnesota led 17-0 at halftime and 20-10 with 9:41 left in the 4th quarter. LeGarrett Blount ran in a 4-yard touchdown with :31 seconds left to put the Buccaneers up for good.

LeGarrette Blount's 4-yard touchdown run with 31 seconds left lifted Tampa Bay past the Minnesota Vikings 24-20 on Sunday, completing another comeback guided by Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman - this time from a 17-0 halftime deficit.

Minnesota Viking middle linebacker E.J. Henderson missed practice Thursday because of a sore knee and he'll have X-rays on that knee today. Head coach Leslie Frazier says Henderson could still play Sunday if he misses practice today. The Vikings are 3-point favorites against Tampa Bay Sunday.

The Vikings have just 3 players listed on the injury report after practice Wednesday. Defensive end Adrian Awasom (knee) is the only player that didn't practice yesterday. Receiver Michael Jenkins (groin) and cornerback Asher Allen (toe) were full participates in practice Wednesday.
