Vikings struggle to practice as tarpaulin freezes at Met Stadium
Minnesota Vikings held only a limited practice for the second straight day as NFL officials sought a workaround to remove a frozen tarpaulin from the Metropolitan Stadium field. General manager Jim Finks warned the issue could worsen and noted a potential alternate practice site.
