Vikings pass on T.J. Houshmandzadeh?

Coach Brad Childress on Sunday quieted speculation that former Pro Bowler T.J. Houshmandzadeh, released by Seattle last week, was headed to Minnesota. The Vikings are not interested “right now,” Childress said. “I’d probably be more prone to seeing if we can find a younger guy or somebody that’s been around in a West Coast offense,” he said. The Vikings have four healthy wide receivers, three healthy cornerbacks and seven healthy linemen who survived Saturday’s 53-man roster reduction. Starting center John Sullivan (calf injury) returned to practice Sunday, but he might not be ready for Thursday night’s game at New Orleans. Don’t be surprised if Javon Walker returns after being cut Saturday.
