Vikings practice without three of their top four cornerbacks

The Vikings were without three of their top four cornerbacks again Thursday, as they prepared for the possibility they'd head to Lambeau Field with a number of defensive backs in unfamiliar spots Sunday against the Packers.

Cornerback Mike Hughes missed his second day of practice this week with the neck injury that has kept him out the past two games, while Holton Hill (who hasn't played since Week 4 against the Texans) continued to sit out with a foot injury. With Cameron Dantzler on the COVID-19 reserve list and former Lions cornerback Chris Jones still going through a series of coronavirus tests before he can start practicing, the Vikings could depend heavily on rookies Jeff Gladney and Harrison Hand, as well as second-year man Kris Boyd (who has been limited this week with hamstring and back injuries) and Mark Fields (who was added from the practice squad this week).
