EDGE Analysis

After sitting out the last three weeks, Sherels' full participation Wednesday puts him in a great position to retake the field in Week 6 against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Sherels was limited in practice all week but he still will be unavailable for Sunday's contest in Philadelphia. It's still good progress for Sherels, who didn't practice all of last week so it's possible the Vikings could get their primary return man back for Week 6.
