Vikings receiver Randy Moss practises with strained hamstring

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - Randy Moss practised Wednesday despite a strained right hamstring, but Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Tice wouldn't say what kind of role his star receiver would play Sunday.
Moss was limited in practice and left early to get treatment for his hamstring, which he injured Oct. 17 at New Orleans. Tice sounded optimistic about Moss' recovery and expected him to be limited again Thursday.
"He did really everything we wanted him to do and probably a little bit more," the coach said.
Moss made a token start last Sunday against Tennessee to keep his consecutive games streak alive at 102. But he was limited to two plays of decoy duty.
He's expected to have a bigger role against this weekend against the Giants.
"We want to see how he progresses throughout the course of the week," Tice said. "Each day he wakes up is going to be a judgment of where he's at."
Moss was listed questionable on Wednesday's injury report.
"I think he's going to be ready," quarterback Daunte Culpepper said. "I think he will be just by talking with him and being around him. ... He wants to be on the field. It hurt him really bad not to be out there."
