This was a very light, short practice because of an abundance of injuries. They highlight the day, so let's run through them first.

* Cornerback DeMichael Dizer has a torn ACL and needs surgery.
* Kyle Williams banged up his knee and is likely out for 3-4 days.
* Jordan Babineaux injured his knee, is getting an MRI today and his status will be re-evaluated.
* Pork Chop Womack hurt his knee and is having an MRI.
* Logan Payne cracked a rib and is out until it heals. The only thing to do is rest it.
* Nu'u Tafisi hurt his ankle and is likely out 3-4 days.
* Matt Castelo hurt his knee.
* Eric Wicks has a quad contusion.

Courtney Taylor was back at practice but took part only in the drills. He said he will do drills this afternoon, then he wants to come back full-on tomorrow morning in preparation for Friday's game in Minnesota. He said he was ready to come back a few days ago but they are being cautious with him. But he sounded very jazzed to be back and playing.

Mike Holmgren said the Pork Chop injury hurts because it does not allow them to go as easy on Walter Jones as they would have liked. The 80-man roster is starting to take its toll because they don't have the extra bodies to throw out there.

Holmgren said a decision has not yet been made on how they will play their veterans against the Vikings. Some of that will be dictated by injuries. But Holmgren said they usually have a formula and they are hoping to be able to stick pretty closely to the formula for who plays how many series.

Of Logan Payne, Holmgren said he will have to let the rib heal, wrap it up and learn to take the pain while learning how to breathe. There is nothing else to do for it. D.D. Lewis by the way was the one who laid the hit on Payne. To his credit, he went back into the game and caught some passes.

This morning's practice was very light, in helmets and shells, which is what this afternoon will be. It was drills, followed by play-running. Seneca Wallace made a couple of very nice passes to the sidelines about 20 yards out, placing the ball between a couple of defenders, but there was not much else to report. Pretty mundane. Matt Hasselbeck had to take some time out to get his left ankle re-taped, residual soreness from getting his foot stepped on last week perhaps. otherwise, that was the excitement for the day. We'll be back in the afternoon to detail that practice.
