Tomlinson missed last week’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers while on the list. Pierce, meanwhile, has missed seven games so far this year.
While it’s not yet clear if either of the tackles will play this weekend, their simultaneous return to practice is certainly good news for a Vikings defense that has struggled.
