The Minnesota Vikings on Thursday got some good news on the injury front. Starting linebacker Anthony Barr returned to practice. Barr, who had missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, practiced in a limited fashion.
Barr did not participate in Wednesday’s practice session. He worked one-on-one with a trainer off to the side of team activities yesterday.
