Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Returns to practice

Van Ginkel (foot) participated in 11-on-11 practice Saturday for the first time during training camp, Will Ragatz of Sports Illustrated reports.

Van Ginkel sustained a foot injury during the Dolphins' regular-season finale last season that held him out of the team's playoff loss to the Chiefs. It looks like he's on pace to be ready for the start of the regular season. He signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the Vikings after the season and is expected to serve as one of the team's top edge rushers.
