Brian O'Neill: Breaking News
O'Neill (heel) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. O'Neill was sidelined for the Week 17 win over the Lions due to a heel injury, so Wednesday's limited session could be a sign that he's trending in the right direction. The veteran offensive lineman likely needs to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's season finale against the Packers.
O'Neil (heel) has been ruled out for Minnesota's game versus the Lions on Thursday. O'Neil managed to play through the injury during last week's win over the Giants but will be unable to do so against Detroit. In his absence, Walter Rouse should get the start at right tackle for Thursday's matchup.
