Practice update

The following Vikings did not practice for the early portion:

* S Mike Doss (hamstring)

* S Tank Williams (knee)

* LB E.J. Henderson (illness)

* WR Robert Ferguson (personal matter)

* DE Erasmus James (knee)

The Vikings have one spot available on their active roster, with the suspension of DE Ray Edwards.

With James hobbled, it appears rookie Brian Robison would be next in line to start at right defensive end.
