Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams has a bone bruise on his left knee but is expected to start in the NFC Championship Game against New Orleans. Williams did not practice for a second consecutive day on Thursday but he was seen after the morning walk-through and was wearing a protective sleeve on his knee. Williams recently was named to the Pro Bowl for the fifth time in his seven-year career and is a key reason the Vikings have been so good against the run. Source: Judd Zulgad, The Star Tribune
