Vikings nose tackle Michael Pierce tried practicing Wednesday, but his injured elbow kept him out of practices Thursday and Friday, and he's been ruled out for Sunday against the Ravens.
Pierce warmed up with his teammates Friday morning before heading inside TCO Performance Center for rehab work. He won't get to play against his former team in Baltimore, where Pierce started 30 games over four seasons before signing a three-year, $27 million contract in Minnesota ahead of the 2020 season.
Pierce, who opted out last year, has played four games for the Vikings and will miss his fourth game of this season.
