The Vikings were without cornerback Trae Waynes (ankle) in Week 10 against the Cowboys in Dallas.
Minnesota won, but did have some trouble with its pass defense.
Waynes, who by no means has been great this season, is expected to be back on Sunday against the Broncos at U.S. Bank Stadium.
“Yeah, I think we will (have him back),” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said Monday.
The Vikings have two other injuries lingering as well. Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) and nose tackle Linval Joseph (knee) both missed Sunday’s game against the Cowboys.
We don’t have a great feel on their availability quite yet, but will have a better idea this week when practices start.
It’s worth noting that the Vikings have a bye in Week 12, so if Thielen and Joseph aren’t ready to go in Week 11, they’ll have two weeks off before the team takes on the Seahawks in Week 13.
