Overview

• Under NFL rules, the team has three weeks to decide whether to activate either player after opening the return window.
• Head coach Kevin O’Connell said Batty or Ham could be available as soon as Sunday in London against Cleveland.
• Batty, an undrafted BYU edge rusher who injured his knee in the Aug. 22 preseason finale, was listed as a full participant Wednesday.
• Minnesota’s edge depth remains thin with Andrew Van Ginkel dealing with a neck issue and Dallas Turner taking outside snaps, and Van Ginkel did not practice Wednesday and is expected to miss Week 5.
• Ham, a ninth-year Viking and core special-teams contributor, missed the first four games with a knee issue after logging significant blocking and special-teams snaps last season.
