The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Harvin will participate in the team's final day of mini-camp on Thursday, according to HC Leslie Frazier. "Percy is here, we are looking forward to have him around," Frazier told KFAN-FM on Thursday morning. "... We are glad to have Percy back today, we have a lot to do to move forward before we head down to Mankato."
Diehards Line:In case you haven't been following along, Harvin didn't report to Wednesday afternoon's mandatory practice just hours after requesting a trade. Harvin spoke this week of "issues" with the Vikings, but says his unhappiness doesn't stem from his contract. Harvin's trade demands were a surprise to the Vikings, who have no plans to move him. It still seems the most likely issue is playing time. Harvin was unhappy with his lack of snaps last season, which saw him on the sideline during too many red-zone plays in offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave's scheme. As NFL.com summed up: "Harvin wants to see the ball more, and is making his voice heard here in June." As we suggested in our last item, the issue will take care of itself if Adrian Peterson isn't ready to go Week 1.
