The Vikings listed 10 players on the injury report, but rookie Percy Harvin was the only player who failed to participate. Harvin, according to coach Brad Childress, took part in the morning walkthrough, but he did not practice because of migraines.

The players who were limited were: Bernard Berrian (hamstring), Cedric Griffin (neck), Steve Hutchinson (shoulder), Tyrell Johnson (concussion), Phil Loadholt (shoulder), Karl Paymah (knee/ankle), Visanthe Shiancoe (ribs/foot), John Sullivan (concussion) and Antoine Winfield (foot).

For the Panthers, quarterback Jake Delhomme (finger), cornerback Richard Marshall (ankle), wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad (knee) and running back Jonathan Stewart (toe) did not practice.
