Vikings' Xavier Rhodes (ankle) not practicing on Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday.

What It Means:

The Vikings stud corner needed to be carted off in last week's game after suffering an ankle sprain. If Rhodes cannot play, this would be a huge blow to a Vikings pass defense rated 19th overall by numberFire's power rankings.

The Vikings will have a tough task in Week 8 against the third ranked New Orleans offense.
