Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr still out with undisclosed injury, may not be ready for opener

Vikings co-defensive coordinator Adam Zimmer said Tuesday he's not sure whether linebacker Anthony Barr will be available in less than three weeks when the team opens the regular season on Sept. 12 in Cincinnati.

Barr, one of head coach Mike Zimmer's key defenders, has not practiced in two weeks as absences that were initially called rest-related by coaches have been revealed to be related to an undisclosed injury.

Injured players are typically seen rehabbing on a side field or in the weight room, but Barr has not been spotted doing any physical work in front of reporters over the past two weeks.
