Pinkston in practice...

I had a chance to watch Todd Pinkston run through some drills in practice today and talk to him afterwards. Vikings coach Brad Childress has been evasive about Pinkston's health. But Pinkston admitted that he is around 90 percent in terms of his health.
"It's very encouraging," said Pinkston, who missed the entire 2005 season and parts of the preseason because of a torn Achilles'. "I'm coming along fine. It's going to take a little time to get warmed up."
You could see flashes of his elite speed. But Pinkston seemed tentative at times.
As for his acclimation, Pinkston said his transition has been smooth. He's comfortable with the terminology. Now he's trying to adjust to the way his quarterback delivers balls.
Pinkston said Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb throws the ball with a lot more velocity than Brad Johnson.
"Brad is more timing, and he gives you more of a chance to get to the ball and get upfield," Pinkston said. "I don't have a problem with it. It's a just a different style, so I have to adjust."
