The Vikings are in good shape from a health standpoint entering Sunday's game in Detroit.
Only backup linebacker Erin Henderson is not practicing today at Winter Park and he's expected to miss about a month because of a leg injury suffered in the Vikings' preseason finale against Dallas. Linebacker Heath Farwell (hamstring) and right guard Anthony Herrera (back) are both practicing and I would expect they will play against the Lions.
Both players were limited on Wednesday and Thursday.
