Dec. 31—Guard Ezra Cleveland and defensive end Kenny Willekes wore shorts and linebacker Anthony Barr had on short sleeves. So some players weren't overly concerned about the cold when the Vikings practiced outside Thursday in 19-degree weather.
Then again, that was nothing compared to what temperatures are forecast to be when the Vikings play Sunday night at Green Bay. The high temperature on Sunday is projected to be 12 and the low zero, so it likely will be in the single digits during the 7:20 p.m. game at Lambeau Field.
"It's not a tough-guy act, by any means," Barr said after Thursday's practice at the TCO Performance Center in Eagan.
