The Vikings opened practice on Friday, but the 22nd overall pick is still in negotiations with the team on a contract. The Vikings have big plans for the versatile threat from Florida, which is why coach Brad Childress says it's especially important for Harvin to get in as soon as possible.

Harvin is also expected to be a featured part of the return game on special teams.
Minnesota Vikings first-round draft choice Percy Harvin was a no-show at the team's first day of training camp.
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who missed the first two days of camp during his rookie season while his contract got negotiated, playfully urged Harvin to get to Mankato.
Harvin likely will be used at running back and receiver in the NFL, just like he was with the Gators. The Vikings also could use him as the trigger man in a version of the Wildcat offense if they decide to use that formation.
