Ivan Pace Jr. returns to training

Vikings: Inside linebacker Ivan Pace Jr., who missed the last two games with an ankle injury, returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.

Akayleb Evans, who was replaced as the starting cornerback but is now an emerging leader on special teams, was unable to practice Wednesday because of an illness.

Also limited were tight end Josh Oliver (wrist) and receiver Brandon Powell (chest). Quarterback Sam Darnold (knee) was on the injured list but played fully.

Jets: Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was limited in practice on Wednesday due to a knee injury. He said his knee was swollen after getting “a little banged up” against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Jets coach Robert Saleh said “we're not worried” about Rodgers playing full-time for the Vikings.

Offensive linemen Moses Morgan (knee) and Tyron Smith (rest) did not practice and linebacker CJ Mosley (knee) was limited. Defensive player Leki Fotu was listed on the injury report but took full part in training.
