|

|
December 10, 2004 Randy Moss took part in 54 plays last week, but the Vikings plan to hold him strictly under 50 plays this week, according to the Star-Tribune.

|
December 6, 2004 Vikings coach Mike Tice said Randy Moss was limited after the first quarter Sunday because the wide receiver's hamstring tightened up, according to the Star-Tribune.

|

|
November 27, 2004 Randy Moss has looked so good in practice this week, that coach Mike Tice said the wide receiver will have no limitations on the number of plays he can take part in Sunday, according to the Star-Tribune.

"He feels like he has training camp legs now; he hasn't done anything in five weeks." |

|
November 23, 2004 Mike Tice said Randy Moss looked "extremely good" during a set of drills designed to test his injured hamstring Monday, according to the Star-Tribune. While the Vikings still plan to list him as doubtful on their injury report today, it appears that the only way he will miss the game is if the muscle swells unexpectedly today. Assuming he plays, Moss will likely be limited to 20-25 plays on Sunday, mostly in three-receiver sets. |
|
November 22, 2004 Randy Moss worked out Monday morning to test his injured hamstring. Vikings head coach Mike Tice said that Moss showed good strength but was not 100 percent.

November 1, 2004 The Vikings are considering shutting down Randy Moss completely for the next week or two to get his ailing hamstring fully healed, according to the Star-Tribune. "That's a medical decision," coach Mike Tice said. "It makes sense to do if the doctors decide he's not going in the right direction. I can't sit here and say that's the case. If he's moving ahead with it while he's playing [some], then that's fine. But if playing is causing the thing to slow down, then we'd have to look at it." |
|

|
October 29, 2004 Randy Moss took part in some of practice yesterday for the second straight day, according to the Star-Tribune. "We definitely will suit up, and not just to keep the string [of consecutive games] going," coach Mike Tice said. "I think we'll be able to utilize him in some aspect of the game plan. What that is will be more determined after we progress through the course of the week." |
|

|
October 19, 2004 Tests revealed that Randy Moss has a significant strain of his right hamstring, according to the Star-Tribune.
