Live from the Metrodome

Preparing for noon kickoff

October 18, 2009 at 2:45PM

We've arrived at the Metrodome press box for today's noon kickoff. We will have the inactives around 10:30 a.m.

Rookie Percy Harvin is listed as questionable because of a shoulder injury. Right tackle Phil Loadholt also is questionable with an ankle injury.

We'll know in about an hour whether they will play so check back.

Former Vikings center Matt Birk is on the field for early stretching. He is chatting with some of his former teammates and coaches, including close friend Steve Hutchinson, Chester Taylor and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.
