Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson is no longer in a walking boot Monday after wearing one on his right foot/leg following Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Zimmer said Patterson has just a bruise and he is OK.
Patterson, who apparently suffered the injury on a kickoff return, said Sunday that he was "fine." Patterson had one of his best games of the season Week 8, totaling six catches for 86 yards in the 19-13 overtime win.
