“We’re working him in, seeing how he is doing movement-wise and go from there,’’ said Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer.
Some have suggested Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr has returned to his 2015 form. He figures he’s even better than that.
Barr had a banner 2015 season and made the Pro Bowl. Barr again received an invitation last season but has admitted he didn’t play up to his standards.
Barr this season is rated as the No. 8 linebacker in the NFL by Pro Football Focus. While he dismissed that ranking, he doesn’t deny he has played well.
Two Vikings were fined by the NFL after incurring penalties against the Packers.
Wide receiver Laquon Treadwell was docked $24,309 for an illegal blindside block in the second quarter on cornerback Lenzy Pipkins. Barr was fined $9,115 for unnecessary roughness after he head butted Green Bay wide receiver Davante Adams in the first quarter.
Also, Packers linebacker Jake Ryan was fined $18,231 for a horse-collar tackle in the first quarter on Minnesota running back Jerick McKinnon.This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
