Minnesota Vikings

8 - 1

Vikings CB Winfield doubtful, Harvin questionable

Sports Network | October 23, 2009

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Minnesota Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield is doubtful for Sunday's tilt with the Pittsburgh Steelers after sitting out practice this week with a foot injury.

Winfield sprained his right foot in the second quarter of last Sunday's 33-31 triumph over Baltimore and did not return. With the 2008 Pro Bowl selection sidelined, Minnesota blew a 14-0 lead and let the Ravens back into the game during the second half.

Questionable for the second straight week due to a shoulder injury is wide receiver Percy Harvin. The rookie out of Florida was limited during the week, but played in the win against Baltimore after having missed time during last week's practice sessions.

Safety Madieu Williams (quadriceps) is also questionable and was limited during the week's practice. Williams' backup Husain Abdullah (back) remains questionable as well.
