Conklin isn't practicing Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Conklin initially missed practice Monday, but he told reporters his ankle injury isn't serious. He's expected to work as Minnesota's No. 2 tight end, a role that could entail playing more than half the snaps on offense. With Conklin temporary unavailable, rookie fifth-round pick Zach Davidson should get a few more practice reps.
