A few minutes ago, we received another sign that the NFL season is, indeed, just a few days away.

The Vikings released their first injury report of the season, and three guys did not practice today.

Linebackers Brandon Watts (knee) and Michael Mauti (foot) did not practice, nor did fullback Zach Line (ankle). Newly-acquired offensive tackle Michael Harris (shoulder) was a limited participant. Cornerback Jabari Price (shoulder) and wide receiver Rodney Smith (neck) were full participants.

It is also an encouraging sign that nose tackle Linval Joseph (calf) right tackle Phil Loadholt (ankle) and outside linebacker and top pick Anthony Barr (ankle) weren't even listed on the injury report.

As for the Rams, cornerback Trumaine Johnson (knee) and center Barrett Jones (back) did not participate. Four players, including starting left tackle Jake Long (knee) were limited in practice.
