Forecast for Chester is pessimistic

Vikings coach Brad Childress didn't seem too confident that RB Chester Taylor would be available for Sunday's game in Detroit.

"As it stands, I'm not quite sure about Chester," Childress said.

Childress said Taylor, who has a bruised oblique, would be limited this week, along with FB Tony Richardson. That means Mewelde Moore could be up, and Naufahu Tahi and Jeff Dugan could get more work in Detroit.

Meanwhile, WR Robert Ferguson is expected to be able to practice in full this week.
