EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -The Minnesota Vikings’ smallest player could leave a pretty big hole in the defense if cornerback Antoine Winfield cannot play against the Steelers on Sunday.
Winfield sprained his right foot against the Ravens last weekend. He missed practice on Wednesday and was not on the field Thursday during the portion open to reporters.
The Vikings defense fell apart against Baltimore when their Pro Bowler left in the second quarter. After forcing punts on the first five possessions of the game, the Vikings allowed the Ravens to score 21 points in the fourth quarter.
The test will be bigger this week against in Pittsburgh, where the Steelers have second-ranked passing offense in the NFL.
