Taylor still doubtful for Vikings

Minnesota Vikings running back Chester Taylor's bruised ribs left him doubtful on the injury report Friday and unlikely to play against Detroit.

Taylor went through part of practice, but coach Brad Childress said he would need "a sprint to get to this game."

Ciatrick Fason would probably take over as the featured back if Taylor is out, with Mewelde Moore increasing his share of the load and Artose Pinner possibly getting some carries.
