Taylor listed as questionable

Vikings RB Chester Taylor is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit. Taylor was limited in practice for a third consecutive day, and coach Brad Childress said he would leave the decision on whether to play up to his running back.

"Just incremental progress," Childress said. "Sometimes those things get better as they go. He’s done everything he can to put himself in the position, so we’ll see."

Taylor, who is from Detroit, still has time to make a decision.

"I’m still taking it day by day right now," Taylor said.

FB Tony Richardson also was listed as questionable and again was limited in practice, as was S Mike Doss. FB Naufahu Tahi, listed as probable, fully participated in Friday's practice.

Meanwhile, DE Erasmus James admitted that he's "a little off" the timetable he wanted in his return from a season-ending knee injury.

"I thought I’d be back in there already," he said. "But obviously, things don't always go your way."

James, though, said trust isn't an issue with his knee.

"I think I’m already past that," he said. "Every week, (I want to) just get better and see what happens."
