Vikings' Gavin Bartholomew: Trending towards activation

Bartholomew (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Bartholomew has yet to make his NFL debut. The sixth-round pick out of Pittsburgh has remained on the PUP list all year due to a back injury he suffered in late August. With a limited practice Wednesday that upgraded to a full session Thursday, it seems the rookie tight end could be a depth addition to the Vikings' offense as early as Sunday's game against the Giants.
