Antoine Winfield plans to play

The Minnesota Vikings are already one of the league’s best teams. They may be about to get better.

Vikings Pro Bowl cornerback Antoine Winfield, who started the first six games of the season but has missed the last four with a foot injury, says he’ll be back on the field Sunday against the Bears. And although Winfield is listed as limited in practice, he says he’s completely healthy.

It feels 100 times better. I have no issues,” Winfield said today, per the Pioneer Press. “I’m looking forward to getting out there on Sunday.”

Winfield said he’ll get right back into the starting lineup and get back to being the every-down player he was before he got hurt.

“I plan on playing the whole game,” he said. “Ain’t no spot duty.”

Benny Sapp has stepped into the starting lineup the last four games with Winfield out.
