Vikings: Inside linebacker Ivan Pace Jr., who missed the past two games because of an ankle injury, returned to practice as a limited participant Wednesday.
Akayleb Evans, replaced as a starting cornerback but now a rising leader on special teams, did not practice Wednesday because of an illness.
Also limited were tight end Josh Oliver (wrist) and receiver Brandon Powell (chest). Quarterback Sam Darnold (knee) was on the injury list but was a full participant.
Jets: Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was limited in practice on Wednesday, listed with a knee injury. He said his knee was swollen after getting “a little banged up” against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Jets coach Robert Saleh said, “We’re not concerned” about Rodgers being a full go for the Vikings.
Offensive linemen Moses Morgan (knee) and Tyron Smith (rest) did not practice, and linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) was limited. Defensive lineman Leki Fotu was listed on the injury report, but was a full participant in practice.
Darnold, who leads one of two unbeaten NFL teams, said he’s not seeking revenge against the Jets franchise that drafted him No. 3 overall and traded him away.
