Brett Thorson - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Appears set to return Sunday Thorson (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday.

Impact Thorson missed Sunday's Week 4 win over Miami due to hamstring injury. However, with a pair of full practices to begin Week 5 prep, he's probably good to go for Week 5 versus New Orleans. Thorson should thus reclaim his role as the Vikings' punter.
