Vikings activate Michael Pierce, make several other moves

It’s been a busy Saturday at the Minnesota Vikings HQ, as the team has made a number of roster moves before Sunday’s trip to Detroit to battle the Lions.

In addition to declaring star linebacker Eric Kendricks out of Sunday’s game, the Vikings have activated defensive tackle Michael Pierce from injured reserve. Pierce had been designated to return to practice earlier this week, and as of today is officially back on the active roster. There’s a very good chance that he will suit up on Sunday for the first time since aggravating his elbow injury against the Cleveland Browns back in Week 4.
