MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -Minnesota got Pro Bowl cornerback Antoine Winfield back from a foot injury, but kick returner and receiver Percy Harvin was inactive for the Vikings’ game against Cincinnati.
Winfield missed the previous six games over seven weeks with a right foot injury. His return on Sunday was a boost for a defense that lost starting linebacker E.J. Henderson to a broken leg.
The Vikings also are playing without starting safety Tyrell Johnson, who is out with a concussion. Rookie Jamarca Sanford will start in his place.
Harvin is the team’s best kick returner and Brett Favre’s favorite target on third down.
For the Bengals, starting safety Chris Crocker was active after being listed as questionable on Friday with an ankle injury.
