Vikings' Parry Nickerson: Restored and elevated

Nickerson (illness) was elevated from the Vikings' practice squad after being activated from the practice squad COVID-19 list Saturday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Nickerson hasn't appeared in a game since Week 5, though he'll be active again for the season finale. He has played exclusively on special teams and figures to fill a similar role Sunday against the Bears.
