Pro Bowl cornerback Antoine Winfield of the Minnesota Vikings still needs some more time to take care of his injured right foot and will not be available to play with his team at Green Bay on Sunday.
According to Coach Brad Childress, Winfield has been making progress throughout the week, but he is just not healthy enough to get on the field after missing last week’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers already. It is very likely that Winfield will be in his place again after the bye week following this Sunday’s game.
Karl Paymah, Asher Allen and Benny Sapp played in Winfield’s place last Sunday and will do the same job this weekend. After holding Ben Roethlisberger to 175 yards passing and Hines Ward to one catch for 3 yards, it does not seem harder for them to play against Packers Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings and Donald Drivers in Green Bay.
As Brett Favre’s return to Lambeau Field has been highly anticipated, the star quarterback now wearing Vikings jersey is not completely sure that he will be able to play against his old team because he had to look after his injured hip. He was listed as probable along with linebackers Ben Leber and E. J. Henderson and fullback Naufahu Tahi.
