The Vikings got good news: everybody was cleared Thursday to practice for the first time for Sunday’s game in Houston.
No Vikings coaches, players or team personnel have tested positive for COVID-19 after last weekend’s game with the Titans, who have now had 12 people test positive since Saturday.
The Vikings were cleared by two rounds of testing — Wednesday’s PCR tests and rapid-response tests on Thursday morning — before returning to work and ending the two-day closure of TCO Performance Center.
An extended morning walk-through and afternoon practice Thursday was part of head coach Mike Zimmer’s way of trying to “get in everything that we normally get in” to prepare for the Texans.
