Four Vikings starters sat out practice today for a second straight day.

Rookie outside linebacker Anthony Barr and defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd were out for the team stretch, but ducked out of practice shortly thereafter. Left guard Charlie Johnson and safety Robert Blanton, meanwhile, were not spotted at all during the periods open to media.

Barr missed last week's win over the Jets due to a knee injury. Floyd played the past two weeks with a knee injury, but did not make it through either game. Johnson and Blanton were hurt against the Jets. Johnson sprained his ankle in that game. Blanton injured his knee and ankle.

Tomorrow will be a big day for those guys, as they probably need to practice to play Sunday.

Fullback Jerome Felton, who is dealing with a neck injury, returned after sitting out yesterday.
