Receiver works out despite sprained ankle

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Randy Moss returned to practice
Friday with the Minnesota Vikings, and he moved around well on his
sprained right ankle despite some soreness.

Moss, listed as probable for Sunday's divisional playoff game at
Philadelphia, was held out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday to
rest.

"He looked great," Vikings coach Mike Tice said. "He didn't
have a hitch in his giddy-up, so that was good."

Cornerback Antoine Winfield, one of Minnesota's most valuable
defensive players, was given a rest from practice Friday and added
to the injury report as probable.

Winfield left the facility with a protective boot on the left ankle he
sprained Dec. 5, an injury that caused him to miss two games and
play sparingly in two others. However, Winfield said that he was just a
little sore and that he was certain to play against the Eagles.

Running back Moe Williams (questionable with a sprained right
ankle) hasn't practiced all week and will be a game-time decision,
though Tice said he doesn't think the Vikings have to worry about
him not playing a limited role unless he has a setback.

Strong safety Corey Chavous will miss Sunday's game with a
broken left elbow.
