Even though the Minnesota Vikings players were in full pads, there wasn't a lot of eye-catching action during Tuesday's morning practice.
Linebacker Chad Greenway made a couple of interceptions during team drills, and in a short-yardage drill, Adrian Peterson made a ridiculous cutback against linebacker Erin Henderson to spring a long run.
Other than that, it was pretty quiet.
Defensive coordinator Fred Pagac held a press conference to tell everyone how much he liked the attidtude of his group, and offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave followed to say that his unit knows what it's doing but needs time to become more precise.
On the injury front, tight end Visanthe Shiancoe and Tyrell Johnson both missed practice with hamstring injuries. Receiver Percy Harvin (ribs) and guard Steve Hutchinson (shoulder) both returned, as did defensive end Adrian Awasom (illness). Safety Simeon Castille continued to do some running on the adjacent field, though his injury has not been reported.
Check out Wednesday's print edition to see what Jim Rueda writes about new nose guard Remi Ayodele. There will also be an AP story on Cedric Griffin as well as other notes from both practice sessions.
