After enjoying relatively good health for the first half of the season, the Vikings are in line to get some help in the near future at one of the few positions where they've faced many injuries.
The team designated wide receiver Josh Doctson to return from injured reserve, clearing him to begin practice on Wednesday. Doctson, who was placed on IR with a hamstring injury on Sept. 12, is required to miss at least eight games, but can return as soon as Nov. 10 against Dallas.
The Vikings made the move on a day where they also got Adam Thielen back on the practice field; the wide receiver did some running attached to a resistance band at the beginning of practice, before running routes during individual drills.
