EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - With Sidney Rice out for half the season, Percy Harvin potentially out with health problems, the Minnesota Vikings are trying to quickly shore up their receiving corps.
The Vikings acquired wide receiver Greg Camarillo from the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday in exchange for cornerback Benny Sapp. Camarillo played in 16 games for Miami last year, catching 50 passes for 552 yards.
Vikings quarterback Brett Favre says it will be a tough road for the team without Rice, who is undergoing hip surgery. He also said there were no issues between and Javon Walker. The teams signed Walker to help fill the holes at wide receiver. Walker and Favre were teammates during their days with the Green Bay Packers. The Vikings will host the Seattle Seahawks in a preseason contest Saturday night.
Harvin took part in a portion of yesterday's practice. That was the first time the second-year pro had been involved in team activities since he collapsed during practice and was taken to a hospital last week. Harvin went through a battery of tests and was given the go-ahead on working out with the team.
