It's worth noting that the Vikings didn't conduct a full practice but rather a walkthrough. 

The biggest names on here are Darnold, Turner and Addison. They all practiced to some extent with Darnold being the one who practiced in full. It's a good sign to see both Addison and Turner limited as they didn't practice at all last week.

Pace is a little bit worrisome with the ankle injury. He suffered it last week during practice and missed Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Bradbury not practicing is par for the course, as he's been limited in some capacity most of the season during practice early in the week. 

Thursday and Friday will tell us more, especially with how these injuries progress either positive or negative.
