Danielle Hunter could be out for Vikings

The ​Minnesota Vikings have been trying to keep quiet on the status of star defensive end Danielle Hunter's status, but the guy who may be responsible to play in case of his absence may have just spilled the beans.

#Vikings LB Eric Kendricks, asked on Danielle Hunter, who hasn’t practiced since Aug. 14, entering Sunday “A guy like Danielle he brings a whole other type of game in It’s going to be hard to a replace a guy like that but we have guys that also are hungry and want to step up too"

This could purely be just speculation on my part (and the many others who are speculating), but the fact that he hasn't practiced in about a month is quite concerning. There were even rumors of a holdout since the team traded for ​Yannick Ngakoue. There should be an injury report out today which should give us a clue if this is actually​ an injury, or just a smokescreen.
