Mark Craig has covered football and the NFL the past 20 years, including the Browns from 1991-95 and the Vikings and the NFL since 2003. Since 2008, Craig has served as one of the 44 Pro Football Hall of Fame selectors. He can be followed on Twitter at @markcraignfl.
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.
