Winfield set to miss rematch in Green Bay

Vikings CB Antoine Winfield is universally regarded as one of the league’s top defenders, so having him miss a second week of action thanks to a foot injury he suffered earlier in the season isn’t what Minnesota wants to see, especially headed into a big showdown on Sunday against their arch-rivals in Green Bay.

While the Vikings played fairly well defensively last week in Pittsburgh, the outstanding play of Winfield is a major factor behind their success on that side of the ball in recent years, and not having him available against the Packers, who feature several explosive receivers, could cause some difficulty for Minnesota this week. Apparently, Winfield has looked good in practice all week, but the team decided to give him another week off, in light of the Vikings BYE coming up after this contest.
