Vikings remain shorthanded at cornerback as gameday nears

The Vikings continued to work without three of their cornerbacks on Thursday, as they moved closer to another game with a makeshift secondary.

Rookie Cameron Dantzler missed his second straight practice with the neck injury and concussion he sustained in the first quarter of the Vikings' game against the Packers on Sunday, while Holton Hill missed his eighth straight practice with the foot injury that has kept him out since Week 4. Hill's last full practice was Oct. 2, two days before the most recent game he played in Houston on Oct. 4.

Mark Fields is expected to miss several games after sustaining a "pinhole puncture" in one of his lungs on Sunday, and rookie Harrison Hand was limited for the second straight day with a hamstring injury.
