Vikings' Will Fries: Back at practice

Fries (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Fries was considered a non-participant at the team's walkthrough Wednesday, so his participation was a step in the right direction Thursday. The offensive lineman was able to play through a calf injury in Week 11 against the Bears, and he'll have one more chance to leave behind the new knee injury by practicing in full Friday before Sunday's matchup with the Packers.
