Vikings WR Harvin seemed fine enough to play against Bears

The Minnesota Vikings Coach Brad Childress said Wednesday that rookie wide receiver Percy Harvin recently had a “good” visit with specialists at the renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester, a visit that is part of the team’s plan to manage Harvin’s migraine headaches.

The problem kept Harvin out of one game and limited him to one practice last week. He had only one catch for 10 yards and two kickoff returns for a total of 31 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Carolina Panthers, the Vikings’ third loss of the season.

According to Childress, the bulging discs Harvin revealed he has in his neck were nothing to worry about that they are not herniated, and he is confident that Hardin will be able to wear back his Vikings jersey to practice fully this week and hopefully to play this Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears.

Vikings rookie WR Harvin was ill

As several starters of the Minnesota Vikings are fighting injuries, another bad news is that rookie receiver and return man Percy Harvin was ill. Not sure what the illness is, but it seemed that it is bothering the player enough to prevent him from taking a practice.

According to Coach Brad Childress, the unspecified illness has been bothering Harvin for long as he has had trouble with migraine headaches this season. Will he be available to play Sunday’s game at Green Bay? Childress said that it is possible as he is hopeful that Harvin will be all right to practice on Friday, leaving two days for the rookie to get ready for the game.

As for the injured starters in Vikings jerseys, they continued fighting their injuries and missing practice. Receiver Bernard Berrian was nursing his injured hamstring, linebacker E.J. Henderson was dealing with a knee injury and cornerback Antoine Winfield was recovering from his foot injury.
