Kyle Rudolph (clavicle, ribs) returns to Vikings' practice Thursday

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (clavicle, ribs) returned to practice on Thursday.

What It Means:

Rudolph missed Wednesday's practice, and while he's dealing with ailments to his clavicle and rib, the absence was the result of his wife giving birth to twins late Tuesday night. Rudolph should be locked into lineups versus the Houston Texans for Week 5.

Rudolph ranks second among all tight ends with 26.51 Reception Net Expected Points. Our models expect him to catch 3 passes for 42 yards and 0.36 touchdowns against Houston on Sunday.
