After a two-game suspension, the Vikings today activated Pro Bowl tackle Kevin Williams. To make room, the Vikes waived defensive end Adrian Awasom.

Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams is battling plantar fasciitis in his left foot, but the All-Pro won't let that keep him on the sideline when he returns from his two-game StarCaps suspension on Sunday. Williams says he's ready to play after yelling at the TV during the first two games.

Kevin Williams was forced to sit at home and watch the Vikings give the first to games away. He said the Vikings can't afford to let that happen again, and that they "need to get it going this week" against Detroit.

Head coach Leslie Frazier believes Kevin Williams played his best game of the season Sunday. The defensive tackle finished with 8-tackles and recorded his first sack of the season. It's too bad the Vikings lost to the Raiders because Frazier would have given Williams the game ball.

Timberwolves forward Kevin Love says he's staying stateside -- for now. Love reportedly turned down an offer to sign with a pro team in Turkey, saying he didn't feel "it was the right decision." Love, however, says if the NBA lockout drags on, he won't count out playing overseas.

Kevin Williams admits that nine years in the NFL is a long time, but he doesn't want be called "old." At 31 years old, Williams is the longest tenured player on the Vikings' roster. With time comes leadership, and Williams is ready to help the younger players, who like him, are "just itching" to "get some wins."

The Twins are still without Justin Morneau as he continues to recover from a wrist injury. Ron Gardenhire is away from the team for the weekend series in Seattle, but acting manager Scott Ullger reiterated that Morneau won't play in a game until his wrist is ready.
