Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph appears to remain on track for his return on Sunday against the Bears. The Vikings won't release a practice report on Monday, but Rudolph participated throughout the open portion to the media.

Rudolph participated with the tight ends then worked with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater at the start of practice. He was limited to individual drills during the team's only practice during the bye week on Tuesday.

"He ran routes and did more than individual," Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said. "He did stuff. We're hopeful, but we'll see as the week goes on."

It was difficult to gage how Rudolph looked in such a limited amount of time, but here are a few clips from practice:

"It's always great to see Rudy back out there," Vikings wide receiver Greg Jennings said. "Big, friendly giant; smiling guy, another face that you can lean to and smile and have fun with. He's definitely made a lot of plays for this team and for us, and we're excited to have him back."

Rudolph missed the last six games recovering from sports hernia surgery. He suffered the injury during Week 3 against the Saints, and the Vikings declined to place Rudolph on the injured reserve list with a designation to return. It turned out to be a wise decision with the Vikings likely getting Rudolph back on the field faster than the eight-week designation.
