Barr returns, Kendricks still out

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr returned to practice on Friday on at least a limited basis, indicating he could be ready to play on Sunday after suffering a lower back injury that kept him out of Wednesday and Thursday’s practices.

However, Barr may not have his fellow linebacker, Eric Kendricks, running beside him. Kendricks suffered a rib injury on Sunday that has kept him out of this week’s practices, with Audie Cole taking over as the middle linebacker.

Also continuing to sit out Friday was defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd, who has missed the last two games with knee and ankle injuries.
