Mike Hughes might return for Vikings; decision likely Friday

Vikings

The second-year cornerback would play with a knee brace when he does get back in action.

Though cornerback Mike Hughes was a full participant in practice for the third consecutive day on Thursday, whether he returns from a torn ACL on Sunday against the Raiders remains subject to clearance from the team’s medical staff.

Coach Mike Zimmer said Thursday afternoon he had not received that clearance yet, and added the Vikings will likely have an answer about Hughes’ availability for Sunday’s game when they issue their final injury report for the week on Friday.
