| Pittsburgh, PA (MySportsbook) - Minnesota Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield was listed as inactive for Sunday's road test in Pittsburgh. Winfield sat out practice this week with a sprained right foot he suffered in last week's thrilling 33-31 triumph over Baltimore. For the second straight week a shoulder injury threatened the availability of wideout Percy Harvin, but the rookie out of Florida was active against the defending Super Bowl champs.

| (MySportsbook) - A previous glance at this weekend's game between the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field would have likely conjured up images of a defensive onslaught. Mental pictures of the Vikings' Jared Allen stuffing repeated attempts by the Steelers to run the ball alongside defensive lineman Pat and Kevin Williams would probably have burst to the brain in the Twin Cities. On the other side, fans of the Black and Gold would be painting portraits of Troy Polamalu grabbing passes out |

| twork) - The infamous "trap game" is the buzz word around Green Bay this week as the Packers prepare for a road test against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon. The Packers are aware of their big showdown with former savior Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field on November 1, but business must be handled in order, starting with Cleveland. Green Bay came out of a bye week well rested and improved to 3-2 on the season -- and 2-1 in the NFC North -- with a 26-0 win over the lowly Detroit Lion |

Winfield sprained his right foot in the second quarter of last Sunday's 33-31 triumph over Baltimore and did not return. With the 2008 Pro Bowl selection sidelined, Minnesota blew a 14-0 lead and let the Ravens back into the game during the second half.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -Minnesota Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh with a sprained right foot. That means it is highly unlikely the Pro Bowler will be on the field when the undefeated Vikings play Pittsburgh's second-ranked passing offense. Winfield was injured last Sunday against Baltimore and did not practice all week. Benny Sapp would likely get the start in his place if Winfield cannot play. Three other players are listed as questionable for |

A team in Los Angeles would likely be an existing one that relocates from another city, as the league has kept a longstanding stance against further expansion. Among the teams rumored to be targeted for a move to Los Angeles include the Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers. |
