Wednesday's Injury Report: The Vikings on Wednesday released the first injury report of the 2019 season in advance of the Sunday’s home game against the Atlanta Falcons at U.S. Bank Stadium.


Wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is the only Viking that did not participate in practice Wednesday.


Mike Hughes (knee) returned to practice for the first time in pads this season as a limited participant.


Earlier Wednesday, Head Coach Mike Zimmer provided an update on Hughes, the team’s first-round pick of 2018.


“Hughes is getting real close, so that will help,” Zimmer said when asked about the team’s depth at cornerback.


The second-year cornerback was removed from the Physically Unable to Perform list after passing a physical on Monday, Aug. 26.


He suffered a torn ACL in Week 6 of the 2018 season and had been rehabilitating of the side fields throughout training camp before returning to the active roster.


Cornerback Mackensie Alexander (hamstring), linebacker Kentrell Brothers (wrist), defensive end Everson Griffen (elbow), tackle Brian O'Neill (elbow) and nose tackle Linval Joseph (shoulder) were all full participants in practice.


Zimmer said that he expects that O’Neill will be able to play on Sunday. O'Neill did not play a snap any of the preseason games.
