Judd Zulgad has been on the NFL beat since the 2003 season, when he began a (gasp) two-year stint covering the Green Bay Packers for the Star Tribune. Zulgad has covered the Vikings since 2005 and is as shocked as anyone that he is again following the daily exploits of Brett Favre.
Chip Scoggins knew his second season covering the Vikings would be eventful when he saw the news helicopter tracking Brett Favre to Winter Park and a guy dressed in a full parrot costume standing outside.

Winfield back on the field again

DiggFor a second consecutive day, cornerback Antoine Winfield was on the field during the period of practice when the media is allowed to watch.
As his fellow cornerbacks went through individual drills in the Vikings' indoor facility at Winter Park, Winfield was doing some running as athletic trainer Eric Sugarman looked on. Clearly this is the next step in Winfield's recovery from an injury to his right foot that sidelined him for the Vikings' two games before the bye week.
As coach Brad Childress said Monday, the Vikings simply want to get Winfield on the turf and see how his foot responds. This does not mean Winfield is going to play Sunday against the Lions and it would not be surprising to see him held out until the Nov. 22 game against Seattle.
Also, practice squad wide receiver Vinny Perretta returned after missing two practices (Monday and Wednesday) so he could tend to a family issue.
Finally, the Lions could be without starting linebackers Ernie Sims (hamstring) and Larry Foote (knee) on Sunday at the Metrodome. Both have yet to practice this week, according to Mlive.com.
