Vikings receiver Percy Harvin, who missed Week 10 due to an ankle injury, was not at Monday's practice, according to beat writer Tom Pelissero.Fantasy Spin:Harvin will likely be a game-time call Sunday whether he practices this week or not. The Vikings desperately need his receiving talents if they are going to have a chance when they visit Chicago.
The Vikings are hoping a bye-week self-scout can help improve their passing offense. Christian Ponder entered the bye feeling better about his performance after a rough stretch, but how he performs under pressure is still a story being developed. What are the measurements used to evaluate that and what did he, Leslie Frazier and Rick Spielman say about it?
