EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings safety Andrew Sendejo was scheduled to participate in a portion of practice Wednesday and appears on track to start Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game, despite a concussion he suffered in the divisional round of the playoffs.
"He'll be fine," Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said.
Sendejo remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, but has advanced through enough stages to qualify for partial practice participation. He won't officially be cleared until later this week, when he visits with an independent neurologist, but the Vikings appear confident he will be ready.
