keggerz Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Any further word on Antoine Winfield? Always seems to be questionable, then plays and puts up good numbers. Seems being the key word, Winfield wasn't on the injury report during the first four weeks of the season. He was on in it in weeks 5 & 6 but he didn't play in either game. The official injury report will be out around 6:30 and by 8 I should have the IDP Practice/Injury report updated...till then this is what I wrote about Winfield in the IDP Game Breakdowns. Secondary: Antoine Winfield has been a limited participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. That to me is a positive but the big day will be Friday's practice. If Winfield is limited in practice again then you can expect him to be listed as QUESTIONABLE on the injury report and more than likely he will be a GTD. However, if he practices in full he could end up being PROBABLE on the injury report and then I would feel much better about him playing this weekend. As a Winfield owner in multiple leagues I can tell you that I will be looking to get him into my lineup if I can this weekend. Just realize that you are most likely going to need to monitor the inactive report on Sunday to find out if he will be able to give it a go this weekend or not. Winfield isn't the only player in the Vikings secondary that is dealing with an injury, Jamarca Sanford is dealing with a concussion and that has kept him out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday. I doubt we see him on the field this week, and if that is the case Tyrell Johnson should replace him in the starting lineup. Value wise he is really only an option in deeper leagues. Surprisingly, the Packers and their prolific passing attack only rank 20th in points allowed to opposing DBs, but I wouldn't let that keep me from putting Husain Abdullah or Cedric Wilson out of starting lineups this week.

keggerz Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 found this: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-vikings-winfield ...The Vikings listed cornerback Antoine Winfield(notes), center John Sullivan(notes) and safety Jamarca Sanford(notes) as doubtful for the game Sunday against the Packers. Barring significant improvements from all three players on Saturday, they will not play. Winfield, who has already missed three straight games with a neck injury, practiced on a limited basis all week. Coach Leslie Frazier said the injury showed improvement, but not enough to make him optimistic for this weekend. “He moved around a little bit,” Frazier said. “We’ll see how he feels (Saturday), but I’d say he’s doubtful for the game on Sunday.” Sanford and Sullivan both came out against Chicago last weekend with concussions and have yet to pass the required tests to be cleared to play. Assuming Sanford will not play, the Vikings (1-5) will go into the game against the pass-heavy Packers without half of their starting secondary. Tyrell Johnson(notes) would start for Sanford, while the Vikings would continue to use a combination of Chris Cook(notes) and Asher Allen(notes) to fill in for Winfield. Rookie safety Mistral Raymond(notes) also likely will be active for the first time in his young career.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicious_bass Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 In somewhat related news, Chris Cook has been arrested for domestic assault deal and will not play tomorrow vs GB. I highly doubt anyone was relying on him, anyway, but (if someone was) they really, really shouldnt be now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
