Childress

For the second time this year, Vikings coach Brad Childress missed a practice session, this time to attend a family matter. He won’t say what caused him to miss practice, noting that he doesn’t comment much on his family. Childress skipped one practice during training camp to attend the wake of long-time Vikings security guard Frank Foster. With Childress out, defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier ran practice. The Vikings play their third exhibition game tomorrow in Seattle.
