Herrera returns

Starting right guard Anthony Herrera had a helmet on today and appeared to be participating, at least in some fashion, during the early portion of practice that reporters are allowed to watch. He did not participate in practice Wednesday and Thursday because of a concussion he suffered against Seattle. He was sidelined against Chicago. All of the other players were accounted for. The Vikings have a long list of players on the injury report, but they're fortunate that the vast majority of the players aren't seriously injured and are only suffering from the typical injuries late in the season.
