Oliver (ankle/wrist) was on the field for practice Wednesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Oliver will take part in his first practice since injuring his ankle Nov. 17. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he expected Oliver to be available for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but the Vikings will wait and see how Oliver fares during the week of practice before deciding on his status. In Oliver's absence the past two games, T.J. Hockenson has seen an enhanced role, playing 68 and 64 percent of the offensive snaps in those two contests while logging a 10-142-0 receiving line on 15 targets. Oliver's return would likely be a negative development for Hockenson.
