Though he's listed as questionable due to an illness that knocked him out of practice on Thursday and Friday, a league source tells us that Vikings receiver Percy Harvin is expected to play.
Per the source, Harvin attended team meetings on Saturday night and "looks great."
Harvin was suffering this week from migraines, and he has had a history of migraines.
The Vikings host the 49ers on Sunday, and we've got a feeling that quarterback Brett Favre will be airing it out in his Metrodome debut.
Harvin is expected to play

The Vikings should have gotten the migraine info out long before this.
More bad news for the 49ers. Harvin,AD and Shiancoe will play big rolls today as short dump offs for Favre with the fast 49er D. That means a lot of YAC going down in the dome today. Vikings 3-0
I hear that chronic is good for headaches...

How do you know whether they had the info or not? Sounds to me like a typical Bears fan, looking for an excuse!

Florio, first you say an illness, then you say it was migraines. Is it at all possible that you can pick a story and stick to it for a change?
Bettis had a history of migraines, but managed to control them enough to be #5 all-time NFL runner. Good luck to Harvin.
So the Rookie of the Year is going to lead the back-to-back NFC North Champs to 3-0?
Niners 2-1

What an idiot. Why would a Bear fan make an excuse for the Vikings? And do you think the Vikes never knew about migraines until yesterday? You should change your name to Twit.
I would call chronic migraines an illness . . . I hope they don't have him on anything too narcotic during the game! I have a friend with chronic migraines and they give her some serious stuff to help deal with them.
