**2012 practice/presser notes**

Dang.

Vikings CB Chris Cook actually has a broken arm. Out for an "extended period of time." Likely have to make a roster move. Big blow. Out 7-8 weeks. Destined for short-term IR.

Dang.

I know it's early and one player doesn't make the team ... but this is going to be really deflating for the secondary.

Absolutely. This is bad, bad, bad news. Cook's absence was immediately felt the moment he left the game against the Bucs.

Minnesota Vikings: Cornerback Antoine Winfield has a Run Stop Percentage of 6.1% which is the highest for all cornerbacks. He has 14 run stops, with DeAngelo Hall being the only other cornerback with more than seven.

Percy Harvin - WR - Vikings

Vikings coach Leslie Frazier referred to Percy Harvin (ankle) as "day to day" Wednesday.

Per Frazier, Harvin "made a lot of progress" Tuesday. Although the sprain appears to be more than a garden-variety Grade 1 issue, we're certainly not ruling the ultra-tough Harvin out. Despite a litany of bumps and bruises, he's missed just three games in his four-year career. We'll know more after the Vikings practice Wednesday.

Would be incredible if he plays. Perhaps just take some time off from KRs?

Vikings coach Leslie Frazier says Percy Harvin and Letroy Guion won't practice today. "We're hoping they both make it." Frazier says #Vikings will get Jarius Wright ready "just in case."

Frazier says Guion injured toe right before half. "Probably should have gotten him out of there."

Frazier says #Vikings will make adjustments to routes and protection to help Ponder, prevent defenses from figuring out rhythm

Frazier on Jerome Simpson: "He's not where he was prior to that injury." #Vikings

Thanks for the info!

That actually tells us a lot. I wonder if the Guion issues are a driver of the run defense issues we are having?

His inability to get off blocks is certainly a factor in those issues. Once he gets locked up, he has trouble shedding blockers to make a play.

Great point. Maybe there's also something wrong with Erin Henderson and Jasper Brinkley's toes. They should have the team doc look at them.

Alan Williams says #Vikings graded some loafs (guys not hustling) against Seattle. Says that's uncharacteristic.

Williams says AJ Jefferson did "more than enough" to keep starting job. #Vikings

Bill Musgrave confirms #Vikings have re-analyzed scheme "and we're hoping for immediate results."

Adrian Peterson not feeling well. Left Vikings facility. Won't practice today.

Based on the way Percy Harvin just walked thru the #Vikings locker room, there is no way he is playing Sunday. Very slow, short steps.

Harvin loves to play the hero, though. Don't be surprised if he plays.
