Williams practicing

Defensive tackle Pat Williams returned to practice after being held out the previous two days to rest knee and elbow injuries.

Ditto for wide receiver Bobby Wade (knee), who missed Thursday's practice, and both are expected to play in Sunday's regular-season finale at Denver.

Cornerback Antoine Winfield (shoulder) was in uniform but not participating so his status remains uncertain.

Linebacker Vinny Ciurciu (ankle) missed the entire week of practice and is not expected to play.

The Vikings must declare the status of all injured players on this afternoon's injury report so check back later for an update.
