Cornerback Josh Robinson, a valuable reserve, is questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after leaving yesterday's practice with an ankle injury then sitting out today's practice.

The injury happened during individual drills at the start of yesterday's practice. Robinson wasn't going full speed when he rolled his ankle, which he hopes will help with the recovery process. He said his ankle injury was doing better today and was optimistic about his chances of playing.

"It got rolled up a little bit yesterday in individuals but thank God it's not too bad," Robinson said.

Still, that he basically missed the last two practices means he is legitimately questionable to play.

Guard Vlad Ducasse (knee) and safety Antone Exum (ankle) are also listed as questionable. Linebacker Gerald Hodges (hammy) is doubtful despite limited practices the past two days.

Tight end Kyle Rudolph (sports hernia surgery) has been ruled out for Sunday's game.

The rest of the Vikings on the injury report, including center John Sullivan, are all probable.

Quarterback Josh McCown, wide receiver Vincent Jackson, left tackle Anthony Collins and safety Dashon Goldson were among those officially listed as questionable for the Buccaneers.
