The Minnesota Vikings continue to be relatively healthy as Week 1 approaches. Jakobe Thomas, the team's third-round pick at safety, was the only player who didn't participate in Wednesday's practice due to an illness.
However, it appears Thomas has gotten past that. He was limited in Thursday's practice, as were fellow rookies Caleb Tiernan (ankle) and Jacob Thomas (ankle), the undrafted free-agent safety out of James Madison.
Green Bay's injury list was lengthier, with DL Warren Brinson and LB Ty'Ron Hopper listed as DNPs for the second straight day. Starters who were limited on Thursday included RT Zach Bako-Bewele (knee), LG Aaron Banks (knee), DL Devonte Wyatt (ankle), DL Javon Hargrave (knee), and EDGE Barryn Sorrell (foot).
Starting LT Jordan Morgan (knee) was upgraded to a full participant after being limited on Wednesday.

Celtics Named Best Fit for 6-Time All-Star Who Ranks 16th on NBA's All-Time Scoring List originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Should the Boston Celtics pursue DeMar DeRozan?
The six-time All-Star is an unrestricted free agent after being waived by the Sacramento Kings. Bleacher Report's Dan Favale ranked DeRozan, 37, as the best free agent currently available and included the Celtics as one of his best fits.
Favale mentioned the Detroit Pistons, Utah Jazz and Miami Heat as other possible landing spots for DeRozan.
"DeRozan has missed 13 combined games over the past three seasons and racked up more than 10 DNPs just twice for his entire career," wrote Favale. "The absence of meaningful three-point volume works against him, but he's averaged over 20 points per 36 minutes on better than 50 percent shooting inside the arc through each of the past seven seasons. Nikola Jokić, De'Aaron Fox and Jaylen Brown are the only other players who have done the same while qualifying for the scoring leaderboard.

A star has been born in Chicago, and it's an undrafted rookie who was just a few years ago getting DNPs at UMass Amherst.
That star?
It's Sydney Taylor, the 25-year-old Chicago Sky guard who is amid a ridiculous offensive explosion that reached its pinnacle on Saturday afternoon.
Taylor is averaging 14.7 points and 1.6 ******* ists per game, while shooting 45.5% from the field and 34.8% from three. She's the second-leading scorer among rookies, and the bright spot for a Sky season that has come with its fair share of disappointments, headlined by an early-season Rickea Jackson ACL tear.
On Saturday, Taylor recorded her brightest moment as a pro, hitting a game-winning three-pointer over the Las Vegas Aces in a 29-point performance. That marked her fifth 25-point game of the season, and her latest offensive masterclass in her first pro season.
