Seven Vikings starters or key contributors did not practice this afternoon.
Wide receiver Stefon Diggs, safety Harrison Smith, cornerbacks Captain Munnerlyn and Marcus Sherels, middle linebacker Eric Kendricks and defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd stretched with the team then walked off.
Center Joe Berger, who has a concussion, was not spotted at all.
But hey, at least right tackle Jeremiah Sirles practiced today after a hip injury knocked him out of Thursday’s 16-13 loss to the Detroit Lions.
