Three Vikings starters – running back Dalvin Cook, linebacker Anthony Barr and nose tackle Michael Pierce – are listed questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Browns.
Pierce injured his elbow and shoulder during Thursday's practice, according to coach Mike Zimmer. He was held out of Friday's practice. Afterward, Zimmer shrugged when saying he's "hopeful" Pierce will play against Cleveland's second-ranked rushing attack.
Cook (ankle) and Barr (knee) practiced three straight days, increasing their chances of returning. They remained limited throughout the week. Cornerback Kris Boyd (hamstring) is also listed questionable.
Barr appeared to move well while shuffling through linebacker drills.
