The latest update I can pass along is that Winfield is not practicing on Monday.  I wouldn’t read too much into this, as Winfield still has the possibility to play on Sunday.  I was speaking with [...] Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:07:34 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Winfield_Not_Practicing/1532499 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Winfield_Not_Practicing/1532499 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Winfield_Not_Practicing/1532499 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/a/2/a25ed9ddf905fc16b1b53eccab6ccc9044ca4ef1/small/Antoine_Winfield_26_ba3c.jpg Vikings CB Antoine Winfield is universally regarded as one of the league’s top defenders, so having him miss a second week of action thanks to a foot injury he suffered earlier in the season isn’t what Minnesota wants to see, especially headed into a big showdown on Sunday against their arch-rivals in Green Bay.

"We’ll just see."Meanwhile, receivers Bernard Berrian (h...

Antoine Winfield would like to kindly disagree with that report.  The cornerback says the foot is only sprained, and that his status is day-to-day, meaning he could conceivably play [...] Sun, 25 Oct 2009 17:40:20 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Antoine_Winfield_Claims_Foot_Not_Broken/1433082 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Antoine_Winfield_Claims_Foot_Not_Broken/1433082 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Antoine_Winfield_Claims_Foot_Not_Broken/1433082 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/6/1/612f87720df444c34842a419fc8ff98135f6e7f3/small/e9.jpg Chris Mortensen just fed Viking fan pessimism by reporting that Antoine Winfield could miss a month with an injury to his foot.  That injury is now being characterized as a fracture rather than a sprain, though Mortensen says it is not the dreaded Lisfranc, which is a combination fracture/dislocation. Needless to say, Winfield is now officially [...] Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:07:34 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Antoine_Winfield_Could_Miss_a_Month_or_More/1430881 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Antoine_Winfield_Could_Miss_a_Month_or_More/1430881 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Antoine_Winfield_Could_Miss_a_Month_or_More/1430881 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/8/8/88f77a5a38e233f2c6964a3fca03aaf13a2d6a3d/small/Minnesota_Vikings_2008_9bcc.jpg Winfield Doubtful, Harvin Questionable Antoine Winfield has been officially listed by the Vikings as doubtful for Sunday's game, but obviously, we've seen nothing to indicate that there's any chance of him playing. So count him out for Sunday. Percy Harvin, meanwhile, is questionable after reinjuring his shoulder last week.

Keep in mind that no official announcement has been made about Winfield’s status for Sunday’s game.  This is just an impression passed along by professional journalists and repeated by a non-professional [...] Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:24:44 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/No_Antoine_Winfield_Deep_Doo_Doo_for_Vikings/1410384 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/No_Antoine_Winfield_Deep_Doo_Doo_for_Vikings/1410384 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/No_Antoine_Winfield_Deep_Doo_Doo_for_Vikings/1410384 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/6/1/612f87720df444c34842a419fc8ff98135f6e7f3/small/e9.jpg I've gotten a lot of emails asking me about Antoine Winfield. What I know is this: Winfield has a sprained right foot, and the Vikings are expected to work out several cornerbacks today. It appears, though, they are all younger players, which may be an encouraging sign. DeAndre Wright was a sixth-round pick this year, so he's not in a position to necessarily help the Vikings right away. The better option, of course, would be third-round pick Asher Allen, not a player off the prove...

Winfield hopped from a table on the side of the field onto a cart earlier in the second quarter, but has since returned to the sideline. Meanwhile, Vikings cornerback Benny Sapp injured his shoulder and may have suffered a mild concussion, KFAN reported. Unclear if Sapp will return. Safety Husain Abdullah has replaced him.
