Wholesale James Washington Jersey , Minn. (AP) The Minnesota Vikings are going to be short-handed on offense heading into an important home game against the rival Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
Quarterback Sam Bradford, receiver Stefon Diggs and left guard Nick Easton were all ruled out by head coach Mike Zimmer on Friday after not practicing during the week. For a team that has already lost promising rookie running back Dalvin Cook for the season with a torn ACL, the uncertainty only increases.
Bradford aggravated a left knee injury in Monday’s win over Chicago that has plagued him since the season opener. He started the game, but looked uncomfortable for most of his time on the field before being replaced by Case Keenum late in the second quarter. His timetable to return to the practice field is unclear.

”I haven’t had him running sprints

Keenum will get his fourth start of the year for the Vikings (3-2). But for the first time he’ll be without Diggs, who was leading the league in receiving yards before tweaking his groin against the Bears. It is the second consecutive year Diggs has battled a groin injury.
”He’s a good player,” Zimmer said

Treadwell has just five receptions through the season’s first five games, while Floyd made one catch in his season debut Monday after serving a four-game suspension.
Easton, who departed Monday’s game with a calf injury

On the other side of the ball, the Vikings got safety Andrew Sendejo back at practice Friday after he was held out Wednesday and Thursday with a groin injury. Sendejo is listed as questionable for the game against the Packers (4-1).
