Of those 12 players on the list two were full participants, six were limited, and for did not participate. OLB Jonathan Greenard (oblique) and CB Jeff Okudah (concussion) were full participants. OL Donovan Jackson (wrist), S Theo Jackson (hip), LB Austin Keys (groin), TE Josh Oliver (ankle), S Harrison Smith (illness), and LB Andrew Van Ginkel (concussion) were all limited in practice. OL Christian Darrisaw (knee), OL Ryan Kelly (concussion), OL Justin Skule (concussion), and QB JJ McCarthy (ankle, already ruled out) did not participate in Thursday’s practice.
Minnesota will plan on starting Bismarck, N.D. native, and former NDSU QB, Carson Wentz in Week 3. The Vikings will welcome the Joe Burrow-less (out with toe injury) Cincinnati Bengals to US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Sunday with kickoff slated for noon and game coverage available locally on CBS.
