The Vikings practiced without wide receiver Stefon Diggs on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, but it doesn’t look like the issue will keep him from playing against the Rams this weekend.

Diggs returned to the practice field on Thursday and Matt Vensel of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that the team didn’t appear to be holding him back even though it was “pouring pretty good” during the portion of the session open to the media. If Diggs plays, he’ll be trying to become the first NFL rookie to pick up at least 85 receiving yards in each of his first five games.

Diggs isn’t the only high-achieving rookie involved in Sunday’s game. Rams running back Todd Gurley will be on the other side of the field and the Vikings may be shorthanded when it comes to the linebackers they’ll use in an attempt to slow him down.

Eric Kendricks and Anthony Barr both missed a second day of practice on Thursday, leaving their ability to play against St. Louis in some doubt.
