Vikings' Harvin ruled out of Sunday's game

Minnesota wide receiver Percy Harvin was sidelined Sunday for a third straight game because of a sprained left ankle.

Harvin was inactive for the Vikings' game at Green Bay. The Vikings said Saturday that Harvin would not accompany the team on the road, but the injury report confirmed his absence. He was listed as doubtful earlier in the week.

At the time he was hurt on Nov. 4 against Seattle, Harvin was the NFL leader in total yards, which includes rushing, receiving and kick returns. He has 62 receptions for 677 yards and three touchdowns this season.
