Lost in all the commotion today was the fact that Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen did not practice after suffering what appeared to be a right ankle or foot injury on Monday.

Coach Brad Childress does not typically discuss injuries in the preseason, but Allen’s injury isn’t believed to be serious — although it won’t be surprising if he misses a few days of practice.

• Quarterback Sage Rosenfels missed his third day of practice with a right ankle injury. Tight end Jim Kleinsasser had a cast on his left hand/wrist and did not practice.
• Cornerback Marcus McCauley also sat out with an undisclosed injury.
• The Vikings released rookie linebacker Robert Francois to make room for Favre.
