Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has not played or practiced the last two weeks due to a groin injury, but he was able to get back on the field Wednesday.

Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Diggs had a helmet on while going through drills at Vikings practice on Wednesday. That’s a step back toward the lineup and we’ll see if he takes another one during Thursday’s practice.

That practice will be held in England as the Vikings are headed there on an overnight flight to begin preparations for Sunday’s game against the Browns. They have a bye after that game, which may factor into their ultimate decision about playing Diggs against an 0-7 team this weekend.

Left guard Nick Easton also practiced on Wednesday. He’s been out with a calf injury and got back on the field while left tackle Riley Reiff sat out with a knee injury.

Two Virgin Atlantic jumbo jets carrying a Vikings party of more than 150 people — players, coaches and other team personnel — departed for London on Wednesday night.

They were expected to land around 10 a.m., a few days after the nine-hour flight from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to Heathrow Terminal 3., except their bodies will tell them it's more like 5 a.m. after accounting for the six-hour time change. So sleep has been a big topic for the Vikings leading into Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns at Twickenham Stadium

Coach Mike Zimmer is approaching the trip differently by having the team depart Wednesday night and sleep on the plane as opposed to wait until the sun rises Thursday, to travel. The time difference becomes five hours once daylight savings time ends in London on Sunday., like the Browns

"A lot of teams do all these things and they go over there and get their butts beat, it's about football and how you execute."," Zimmer said. "Some teams do it differently and win. Arizona went over for the whole week last week [and lost 33-0.] At the end of the day

Not only were the Cardinals destroyed by the Rams a week ago, Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer broke his arm.

Results vary,Authentic Laquon Treadwell Jersey,000-mile trip. Before the flight, but the Vikings are trying to iron out as many kinks as possible caused by the 4,Authentic Mackensie Alexander Jersey, Vikings players were instructed to limit caffeine intake, to limit light exposure while using their smartphones.

Receiver Stefon Diggs and left guard Nick Easton returned to practice Wednesday,Authentic Odell Beckham Jr Jersey, Diggs is dealing with an ankle injury limited him in practice. Quarterback Sam Bradford (knee) still is not practicing., meaning both could return to play the Browns after missing the past two games. In addition to a strained groin

Left tackle Riley Reiff is a question mark for Sunday after he was held out of practice Wednesday. Tackle Rashod Hill took Reiff's place at left tackle. Hill's play for the Vikings has been impressive considering he was plucked from the Jaguars practice squad less than a year ago, but he's been more effective as a pass protector than run blocker in his limited snaps.

"Today was a little rusty, but I will correct my mistakes, just trying to contribute to the team."," Hill said. "Just need to be ready. If Riley plays, or if Riley don't play

Zimmer remained coy about Sunday's starting quarterback situation, not naming Case Keenum the starter.

Keenum was listed as "limited" in practice Wednesday with a chest issue. Keenum is 3-2 as a starter and has led the Vikings to four wins, while Bradford continues to be missing from practices with lingering issues in his left knee., including the second half in Chicago

"I don't know," Zimmer said of his starting quarterback. "We'll see."

Teddy Bridgewater practiced Wednesday and is expected to make the trip to London. When asked about Bridgewater's status, but it's the medical clearance at the end of the day.", Zimmer said: "I think I know what I'm doing

However, he'll need to be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list before he can play in a game. The Vikings still have another 1-1/2 weeks before needing to make that decision.

Forbath was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after his career-high six field goals against the Ravens, including two from beyond 50 yards. It's Forbath's second career player of the week award.

That’s why the Minnesota Vikings signed running back Latavius Murray to a three-year, $15 million contract.

Sendejo hit Ravens receiver Mike Wallace up high in the first quarter of Sunday’s game and Wallace spent the rest of the day sidelined with a concussion.

Sendejo was also fined $24,309 for a hit to the head of Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate in Week 3.

Unless he successfully appeals the ban, Sendejo will miss Sunday’s game in London against the Browns. His backup at strong safety is second-year pro Jayron Kearse.
