Bashaud Breeland - Managing injuries Breeland (back/shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Impact Breeland has operated as a starter for Minnesota through the first two weeks of the season, but it appears he's gotten banged up while taking on such a large workload. With questions about the quality of Breeland's coverage also having risen up, any missed time on the veteran's part could open up opportunities for the likes of Mackensie Alexander and Cameron Dantzler to push for increased reps.

Anthony Barr - Limited Wednesday Barr (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Impact Barr didn't practice last week before being ruled out against the Cardinals, so it's encouraging to see him now handling at least limited reps. The veteran linebacker will work to ramp up his activity and attain clearance for Sunday's game against Seattle.

Eric Kendricks - Logs limited practice Kendricks (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Impact Kendricks dealt with a quadriceps injury in practice last week, but it didn't ultimately impede him from racking up 11 total tackles against the Cardinals. With back-to-back double-digit tackling performances under his belt to begin the season, Kendricks will be an intriguing IDP fantasy option as long as he's cleared to suit up against Seattle on Sunday.

Dalvin Cook - Held out Wednesday Cook (ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

Impact Prior to the session, head coach Mike Zimmer told Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press that Cook would get in some reps Wednesday, but it didn't translate to any individual or team work. Cook was visibly banged up in the second half of the Vikings' Week 2 loss at Arizona, and Zimmer noted afterward that the running back was dealing with a sprained ankle. The Injury is keeping Cook out of drills so far this week, but he has two more opportunities to get back on the field and prove his health ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks. If Cook were to miss any time or be limited, Alexander Mattison is the next man on the depth chart, with Ameer Abdullah and A.J. Rose candidates to be elevated from the practice squad.

Kene Nwangwu - Gets light work in during practice Nwangwu (knee) was seen working on a side field during Wednesday's practice, Eric Smith of the Vikings' official site reports.

Impact Nwangwu hyperextended his left knee during a preseason matchup with the Browns on Aug. 14 and was placed on IR before the initial 53-man roster deadline. The rookie fourth-round pick is eligible to come off IR as soon as Week 4, but the Vikings aren't going to rush anything because he will need to get his conditioning back. When healthy, Nwangwu will likely compete with Ameer Abdullah for the No. 3 running back job.

Now, the 2020 fifth-round pick has landed on the COVID-19 list and may miss an extended period of time. He will have to test negative twice within 24 hours before he can be reinstated.
