Shane Frederick checking in following Tuesday afternoon's practice. ...
Weather pushed the Vikings indoors in the morning but it didn't deter them from staying outdoors in the afternoon. The team practiced for about 90 minutes including the last portion in Blakeslee Stadium, despite an ominous black cloud rolling over the university and some lightning and thunder in the distance. The cloud was followed by a 10-minute downpour and some wind, but -- it's football -- they played on with some live hitting.
If anything, the front cooled things down after a sweltering Monday.
"It was a little cooler that's for sure," rookie running back Toby Gerhart said. "It's been nasty and humid. Fortunately, we were able to get some work in. ... The weather held off enough that we were able to get a little live portion in and get the work in that we needed to do."
While there was some action, several players sat out, including starting offensive linemen Anthony Herrera and John Sullivan, tight end Visanthe Shiancoe and linebacker J Leman. Missing from practice were Percy Harvin, Jim Kleinsasser and Cullen Loeffler. Receiver Sidney Rice and cornerback Cedric Griffin, of course, remain on the PUP.
