Blaine Gabbert (hamstring) has been formally ruled out for Week 6.
Uh...say what?!?!?!Julio Jones MAY be out for the rest of the season.
Calvin Johnson (knee) is participating in individual drills Thursday.
Per beat writer Dave Birkett, Johnson was "very limited" and sporting a brace on his right knee. He did not even do skeleton offense, exclusively doing position drills. The return to some activity is certainly a good sign, but not much has changed on Megatron's Week 6 status. He's going to be a true game-time call ahead of the 1pm game at Cleveland.
A source close to Adrian Peterson confirmed to Profootballtalk that Peterson is dealing with a "tragic" personal situation in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Adrian Peterson is back with the Vikings and will practice Friday.
Peterson spent Thursday in Sioux Falls, South Dakota tending to a "tragic" family matter. His two-year-old son was reportedly in critical condition after being severely beaten by the boyfriend of the child's mother Wednesday night. Hopefully, Peterson's return signals that his son is doing much better.
Growing concern over the surgically repaired forearm of Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski could keep him out of the game Sunday against New Orleans and perhaps longer, according to WEEI.com.
The site is claiming that family members suspect the forearm could have healed better on its own, but that the team recommended surgery to hasten his return to the field. It further claimed that the Patriots expected Gronkowski to play in Week 3 against Tampa Bay. He has yet to play this season.
A source told WEEI that there is "serious concern" about the integrity of the bone where an implement was placed during surgery, as well as the surrounding nerves.
