Vikings getting injured defenders back

The Vikings appear to be getting some of their best defensive players healthy for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants.

Are the Minnesota Vikings back to full strength?

They might be close to it for Sunday night’s game against the New York Giants.

Arguably the team’s top three defensive players – nose tackle Linval Joseph, linebacker Anthony Barr and safety Harrison Smith – were all back on the practice field Wednesday for at least individual drills. That’s a big improvement from where they’ve been most of the last two weeks.
