Pro Bowl cornerback Antoine Winfield’s week to week injury is beginning to look like a possible smokescreen for a more serious injury. He was suppose to be probable for last weeks game but had a ( Ahem, “Setback”).

In addition, tight end Visanthe Shiancoe is also among the Minnesota Vikings listed as questionable for Sunday’s game at Arizona.

Winfield has missed the last five games with an injured right foot. Shiancoe hurt his ribs in last week’s victory over Chicago. Shiancoe has eight touchdowns this season and has played in 107 straight regular season games.

Also questionable are backup running back Chester Taylor and right guard Anthony Herrera. Taylor also had a rib injury against Chicago and Herrera could miss his second straight game because of a concussion.

Artis Hicks started for Herrera last week, and there really isn’t a significant drop-off at Right Gaurd with him stepping in.

But the Vikings could find themselves a bit thin at tight end and running back if Shiancoe and/or Taylor cannot go.
