Kevin O’Connell provides injury updates from Saturday’s historic win

Injuries ended up playing a major factor in the Minnesota Vikings’ historic 39-36 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday afternoon. Cameron Dantzler ended up suiting up but didn’t appear to play a single snap and Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor left the game in the first quarter with an ankle injury.

The Vikings ended up having multiple players go down with injuries during the game, but thankfully they all ended up being minor.

During his postgame press conference, head coach Kevin O’Connell updated the media on the Vikings’ injuries and luckily they were miminal.

Justin Jefferson suffered a rib/chest contusion but feels fine and K.J. Osborn, Christian Darrisaw and Patrick Peterson all suffered cramps, which is normal for a game that lasts that long.

The big issue here is that the Vikings didn’t have Dantzler but they somehow didn’t need him as Duke Shelley picked up the slack and kept making big plays.
