Pat Williams is scheduled to make his preseason debut against the Seahawks Saturday, according to ESPN 1500 Twin Cities.
Williams will play, but the D-line could still be shorthanded. The statuses of Jared Allen and Jimmy Kennedy are up in the air, and both are likely to be held out. However, both players are just "nicked up," according to defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, and neither is expected to miss any time.
The Associated Press reports that the suspensions for Pat Williams and Kevin Williams will be put on hold until their appeal is heard in a Minnesota state court.
The NFL originally tried to suspend the Williams' in 2008, but at this rate the hit probably won't come until they retire. There's no date scheduled for their appeal hearing, so the Vikings run defense should be as stout as ever this season.
Pat Williams may end up having to serve a four-game suspension after all for his involvement in the StarCaps case over a year ago, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
A Hennepin County judge had harsh words for the NFL, but also determined that Pat Williams and Kevin Williams were not harmed by the violations of Minnesota labor law, and thus are be subject to the NFL's suspensions. Pat and Kevin are expected to appeal the decision, so this story is not yet over. Jimmy Kennedy and Fred Evans would serve as the Vikings' starting defensive tackles if the suspensions are upheld.

Pat Williams is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants with a strained elbow, according to the Miami Herald.
Williams missed last week's loss to the Bears with the injury and has been limited in practice all week. Ahmad Bradshaw would like to see Williams sit this one out as well.
