The Minnesota Vikings still don't have wide receiver Percy Harvin back.
Coach Leslie Frazier said Harvin won't practice Wednesday. He severely sprained his left ankle on Nov. 4 at Seattle and has missed three games since. The Vikings play Chicago on Sunday, but Frazier sounded pessimistic about Harvin's return. The coach said it's ''hard to say'' when asked if Harvin's season could be over.
As to whether any issues beyond the injury are behind Harvin's absence, Frazier answered vaguely. He said he knows Harvin ''wants to win'' and is sure he will ''do everything he can'' to help the Vikings.
Harvin missed a total of three games over his first three seasons.
