What did we learn at practice a few moments ago? That Audie Cole appears to know how to long snap well enough to get the ball to punter Jeff Locke without drawing too much attention.
Regular long-snapper Cullen Loeffler wasn't at practice because, like the rest of Minnesota, he's apparently sick. Presumably, he'll play on Sunday, but we'll get the official injury report after practice today.
Meanwhile, Chad Greenway also wasn't at practice for the portion open to reporters. He hasn't been on the injury report this week, so we'll wait until after practice for the reason.
Linebacker Anthony Barr, who has missed the past two games because of a knee injury, wasn't at practice. Look for him to miss a third straight game.
Left guard Charlie Johnson was at practice, but wasn't participating.
Two players who hadn't oracticed all week — tight end Kyle Rudolph and strong safety Robert Blanton — were practicing today.
