Vikings | Berrian questionable for Week 11 Fri Nov 20, 05:21 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Bernard Berrian (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as questionable for Week 11 and is expected to play.
| Our view: Berrian can't seem to completely shake this hamstring injury, but he has been relegated to second (or even third) most important receiver in the passing game with the emergence of Sidney Rice. |

Vikings | Berrian limited Thursday Thu Nov 19, 06:10 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Bernard Berrian (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 19.
| Our view: Berrian's game is all about speed to get down the field, and this hamstring injury is limiting what he can do on Sundays. In the meantime, Favre has built great chemistry with Sidney Rice and he has become the team's best deep threat. |
