Anthony Barr returns to Vikings practice on a limited basis

Linebacker Anthony Barr and receiver Stefon Diggs suited up, but only Barr officially returned to practice Thursday for the Vikings.

Barr, who is in the concussion protocol and also dealing with an ankle injury, was limited in his return, according to the team's injury report. Diggs is dealing with a strained groin and has not practiced since suffering the injury in the Oct. 9 win at Chicago.

"It's kind of in the air right now," Diggs said of his status for Sunday against the Ravens.

Diggs, who is dealing with a strained groin, donned shoulder pads and warmed up with his teammates, but he was officially listed as not practicing on the team's injury report. Coach Mike Zimmer said the Vikings still are evaluating Diggs, who has 23 catches for 395 yards and four touchdowns in five games.

"He did a little more today," Zimmer said of Diggs' rehab. "So we'll just see how it goes."

Diggs has not practiced with his teammates since suffering the groin injury Oct. 9 in Chicago. Entering his third season, he said he was focused on his health after injuries kept him from six games during his first two NFL seasons. Diggs needed a couple weeks to recover from a strained groin last year, but he said this injury isn't as serious. He still missed Sunday's win against the Packers.

"Last year was different," Diggs said Thursday. "Different muscles in there, different things were hurt last year. Last year was a lot more severe."

The Vikings were still without quarterback Sam Bradford, who has not practiced since he was pulled from that game against the Bears.

Receiver Michael Floyd (hamstring) and left guard Nick Easton (calf) were with teammates during warmups, but did not have helmets to practice Thursday. Cornerbacks Tramaine Brock (hamstring) and Mackensie Alexander (hip) were also limited.
