According to Kevin Seifert on his ESPN NFC North blog: "... cornerback Marcus Sherels will be promoted from the practice squad for extra depth if starter Asher Allen (abdomen) can't play."

Go former Gophers!

Congrats Marcus!

It would be great seeing him on the field in a Vikings jersey tomorrow.

He's playing special teams, kickoff coverage and punt return from what I've seen...good for him, makes a season worth of practice team worth it now.

Also for those wondering, Triplett is doing pretty much the same for the colts, only punt coverage instead of return.

Curious to see how Sherels develops. The pro game is so specialized that someone with his skills may find a place and stick around for awhile.
