| | | Antoine Winfield said he isn’t going to make excuses for his poor play the past two weeks, but the Vikings Pro Bowl cornerback is suffering from a serious foot injury. Winfield is dealing with the pesky Lisfranc injury in his right foot, according to a person with knowledge of the situation, this injury involves a sprain or dislocation- fracture to one of the small joints of the mid-foot, the injury sidelined Winfield for six games and clearly has affected his play since he’s returned. Given how Winfield has struggled of late, the Vikings might want to rest him in the regular-season finale Sunday against the New York Giants or attempt to limit his snaps, Winfield’s performance the past two weeks is a cause for concern.
