Three players who started Monday night’s game and a total of three tight ends did not practice at all today as the Vikings began their on-field preparations for Sunday’s game against Houston at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Not practicing were receiver Stefon Diggs (groin), tight end Kyle Rudolph (clavicle/rib), right tackle Andre Smith (triceps), tight end Rhett Ellison (knee), tight end David Morgan (knee) and tackle Sharrif Floyd (knee), who is a starter but hasn’t played since having knee surgery after the season opener.
Rudolph and Diggs are quarterback Sam Bradford’s top two targets. Ellison is the team’s best blocking tight end.
