After a six-game absence, Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is poised to return for Sunday’s matchup at Chicago.
Rudolph practiced fully for a second straight day and is listed as probable on the injury report. He has been out since September 21 with a groin/abdomen injury. A key target in the Vikings’ passing game, the 25-year-old Rudolph hauled in 10 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings’ first three games before leaving the lineup.
The Vikings also appear set to have tailback Jerick McKinnon in their backfield on Sunday. McKinnon (low back) is probable after a full practice on Friday.
Reserve tight end Chase Ford (foot) is also probable, while backup defensive end Scott Crichton (hip) and offensive tackle Mike Harris (ankle) are questionable for Minnesota (4-5).
