Anthony Barr's ailing right knee has "turned the corner," he said, and the Vikings' Pro Bowl linebacker is hoping to return soon from the injury that has lingered since training camp.
Barr practiced Thursday, stringing together back-to-back sessions for the first time since he suffered the unspecified injury in early August. Whether Barr will make his season debut Sunday against Seattle is still unknown. The priority is making sure his right knee — on which he wears a compression sleeve during practice — is fully recovered first.
"I would love nothing more than to be playing," Barr said Thursday.
