The Vikings will be retesting more vaccinated employees through the morning of Sunday's game in Los Angeles as close contacts after defensive end Kenny Willekes became the sixth player Friday isolated on the reserve/COVID-19 list since Nov. 4.
Willekes did not practice Thursday because of an illness, indicating he was the latest to test positive as the Vikings have taken extra precautions this week to mitigate the internal spread of the virus. They started the week Monday by retesting 29 players, coaches, and staff — including coach Mike Zimmer — and will be retesting more after the latest case.
