Demmings (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Demmings missed each of the Vikings' two games prior to the Week 6 bye due to a hamstring injury. His full practice Wednesday indicates that he's fully healthy and will be available for Sunday's game against the Colts. The rookie fifth-rounder has served mostly on special teams, but his return gives the Vikings additional depth in the secondary.

Vikings' Charles Demmings: Won't play vs. NOLA
Rotowire
Demmings (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Demmings was able to log two-straight limited practices to end Week 5 prep. However, the rookie fifth-rounder will miss a second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury he picked up against the Buccaneers in Week 3. Demmings has mostly contributed on special teams this season, but his absence leaves Zemaiah Vaughn as the top rotational option at cornerback behind James Pierre and Isaiah Rodgers. The Vikings are on a bye for Week 6, so Demmings' next chance to play is Week 7 against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Demmings injured his hamstring during the second half of Sunday's win over the Buccaneers and is now expected to miss the Week 4 matchup versus Miami, at minimum.
