Hill (foot) won't play Sunday against the Lions, Andrew Krammer of the Star Tribune reports.

Vikings' Holton Hill: Still not back at practice
Rotowire
Hill (foot) was a non-participant during the Vikings' practice session Thursday.
Hill hasn't suited up since facing the Texans in Week 4, though the 23-year-old cornerback has never been placed on injured reserve at any point during his inactive stint. The third-year man out of Texas started two of the Vikings' first four games of 2020, recording three pass deflections and a sack while playing at least 75 percent of the defensive workload in each outing. Given yet another DNP in practice, it's unlikely he suits up Sunday against Detroit unless he can rebound and return to the field during Friday's session.

Rotowire
Hill (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Hill began the week limited in practice, but he was downgraded to a non-participant Thursday and is now officially questionable. If he were forced to miss Sunday night's game in Seattle, rookies Jeff Gladney and Cameron Dantzler would benefit from increased defensive snaps.

Vikings' Holton Hill: Listed as starting cornerback
Rotowire
Hill is listed as a starting cornerback opposite Mike Hughes on Minnesota's initial unofficial depth chart.
He may not keep the starting job long with both 2020 third-round draft pick Cameron Dantzler and 2020 first-round draft pick Jeff Gladney contending for playing time, but it looks like Hill will get significant snaps early in the season.

Vikings' Holton Hill: Suspension uplifted
Rotowire
Hill has officially served two separate four-game suspensions and is now available to suit up for the Vikings' Week 8 matchup versus the Chiefs, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
The Vikings have received a roster exemption through next week, so they do not have to make an immediate roster move to allow Hill on the 53-man roster. The 22-year-old is set to take on a depth cornerback role in the team's secondary.
