Vikings outside linebacker Chad Greenway is expected to play against the Dolphins today, two days after his father, Alan, lost his battle with leukemia.

Greenway was excused from practice Friday to travel back to South Dakota to see his father. His father passed away later that night.

Greenway is with the team here in Miami, and all indications are that he will play.

The nine-year veteran is second on the team with 91 tackles despite missing three games earlier this season due to broken ribs.
