The Vikings have removed OLB Anthony Barr from the injury report. He missed last week's game with a knee injury, allowing Eric Wilson to take over full-time snaps and deliver a big IDP outing (11 tackles, 2 sacks).

It's also a reminder that none of these moves will be set until Wednesday afternoon, when free agency actually opens with the new league year.
