The Vikings have been without cornerback Holton Hill since Week 4, and will play without him for at least another three weeks.
The team placed Hill on injured reserve Tuesday, taking him off the active roster with the foot injury that's kept him out since after the Vikings' win in Houston on Oct. 4. Hill hadn't practiced since Oct. 9, and hasn't taken part in a full practice since before the Texans game. The Vikings had been granted a roster exemption for Hill before Sunday's game against the Lions, after a source said Hill had to leave the team's facility for a day and re-enter the COVID-19 testing protocol before he could be readmitted to the building.
