Vikes' leading rusher Taylor plans to play this week against Jets

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) Chester Taylor will try to play this week for the Minnesota Vikings, who listed their leading rusher as questionable on Wednesday's injury report.

Taylor bruised his ribs on Dec. 3 at Chicago and didn't play last week at Detroit. He said he's planning to play Sunday against the New York Jets after trying out a protective pad in practice this week.

"That's my goal right now," Taylor said. "I'll just have to see how it plays out."

Despite missing one game, Taylor is seventh in the league with 1,098 yards.

"It's not so much the sensitivity. It's all the twisting and fighting for extra yards and that type of thing," coach Brad Childress said. "We'll just see how comfortable he is as he gets out there."

Brooks Bollinger, whose shoulder injury left him as the emergency quarterback last week against the

Lions, is practicing and also listed as questionable.
