Cornerback Xavier Rhodes and defensive tackle Shariff Floyd have vowed to be ready for Sunday’s game against New England, but Vikings coach Mike Zimmer remains in wait-and-see mode.

Rhodes suffered a groin injury and Floyd hurt his shoulder in Sunday’s 34-6 victory in the regular-season opener at St. Louis. The Vikings next face the Patriots in their home opener at TCF Bank Stadium.

“I don’t know,” Zimmer said Monday about Rhodes and Floyd. “They’re both day-to-day right now. I think we’ll find out more about them (Tuesday), but we’ll see.”

Rhodes said after Sunday’s game that he’ll be “back next week.” Floyd echoed that, saying his injury was “nothing major.”

The Vikings had three players sit out against the Rams because of injuries, but Zimmer said two will return to practice Wednesday — linebacker Michael Mauti (foot) and fullback Zach Line (ankle) — while rookie linebacker Brandon Watts (knee) appears to need more time.

“I’m going to practice Wednesday and we’ll see how it feels,” said Mauti, hurt in an Aug. 23 preseason game at Kansas City. “That was the timeline that we had. … It’s not a long-term deal.”
