Harvin, Rice not practicing
Posted by: under Injury report, Vikings, Brad Childress, Vikings injury report, Brad Childress, Percy Harvin Updated: December 17, 2009 - 1:33 PM
The Vikings were missing their top two wide receivers Thursday during the portion of practice that was open to the media.
Percy Harvin continues to deal with migraine headaches and is not believed to be at Winter Park. This will be the fifth consecutive practice Harvin has missed. He also did not play last Sunday against Cincinnati. Coach Brad Childress said Wednesday that Harvin visited with doctors on Monday and that that process would continue. Harvin was at Winter Park on Wednesday morning but had to leave after becoming sick to his stomach.
Rice, who has 67 receptions for 1,075 yards and five touchdowns, appeared to injure his leg on a long deep pass down the middle last Sunday. Afterward, the word was that Rice had tweaked his back, but he was on the practice field Wednesday and did not show up on the injury report. We'll get you an update on his status as soon as we see the report later today.
