Mike Zimmer has said that Cordarrelle Patterson has been "improving every day" in the Minnesota Vikings' training camp.
The wide receiver missed the opening two days of the pre-season camp with a foot injury, but took part in walk-throughs with the team this morning.
The head coach told the St Paul Pioneer Press: "He's improving every day. I saw him do some stuff [Saturday]. I'll be surprised if it's long [that Patterson is out]."
Patterson had 469 receiving yards and four touchdowns during his rookie season.
