Analyzing final Vikings injury report vs. Falcons

The Minnesota Vikings are set to take on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon with quarterback Jaren Hall getting his first start in the NFL.

The injury report for both teams is out and is much cleaner for the Vikings than it is their counterparts.

Out

• DE Dean Lowry (groin)

Lowry injured his groin against the Packers in the first quarter and didn’t practice all week.

Doubtful

Nobody is doubtful for Sunday afternoon.

Questionable

• ILB Brian Asamoah II (ankle)
• WR Jalen Nailor (hamstring)
• G/C Chris Reed (foot)

Both Reed and Nailor are in their practice windows and could still miss Sunday’s game. Asamoah missed the game against the Green Bay Packers but did practice all week.

Removed from injury report

• WR K.J. Osborn (chest)
• WR Brandon Powell (shoulder)
• CB Akayleb Evans (neck)

All three got banged up against the Packers. Having Osborn and Powell active will be huge for Jaren Hall.
