The Minnesota Vikings are set to take on their NFC North division rival Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.
Ahead on Sunday’s game, the Vikings released their final injury report on Friday afternoon. Here is everything you need to know.
Thursday injury report
- S Theo Jackson (toe): Did not practice
- CB Byron Murphy Jr. (knee): Did not practice
- WR Jalen Nailor (concussion): Did not practice
- DE Jaquelin Roy (ankle): Did not practice
- WR Jordan Addison (ankle): Limited
- CB Mekhi Blackmon (shoulder/illness): Limited
- NT Sheldon Day (ankle): Limited
- ILB Troy Dye (wrist): Limited
- RB Alexander Mattison (ankle): Limited
- NT Harrison Phillips (back): Full
- RT Brian O’Neill (ankle): Full
- ILB Ivan Pace Jr. (shoulder): Full
Out
- S Theo Jackson (toe)
- CB Byron Murphy Jr. (knee)
- WR Jalen Nailor (concussion)
- DE Jaquelin Roy (ankle)
None of the four players practiced this week for the Vikings. Nailor is missing his third-consecutive game with a concussion and Murphy his second with a knee injury.
No Jackson is a hit to the Vikings safety depth, as he was getting regular playing time. This could open the door for Lews Cine to get his first defensive snaps.
Doubtful
Nobody is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Packers.
Questionable
- WR Jordan Addison (ankle)
- CB Mekhi Blackmon (shoulder)
- ILB Troy Dye (wrist)
Both Addison and Blackmon left Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions due to their injuries. If they can’t go, it will be a major hindrance to a Vikings victory, especially Blackmon since Murphy will not be playing due to his knee injury.
Removed from injury report
- NT Sheldon Day (ankle)
- RB Alexander Mattison (ankle)
- RT Brian O’Neill (ankle)
- ILB Ivan Pace Jr. (shoulder)
- NT Harrison Phillips (back)
The big one here is O’Neill returning after missing two games with a sprained ankle. Day and Phillips playing is also huge for the Vikings to stop the Packers running game.
Injured reserve
- WR Malik Knowles: The Vikings waived Knowles with an injury and he reverted back to injured reserve after clearing waivers. He is out for the season.
- LT Oli Udoh: He tore his quadriceps tendon against the Philadelphia Eagles and is out for the season.
- OLB Marcus Davenport: After injuring his right ankle before week one, Davenport suffered a high ankle sprain against the Chicago Bears and recently had tightrope surgery on it.
- DE James Lynch: Lynch tore his ACL during the Vikings night practice on August 3rd.
- ILB William Kwenkeu: He was placed on injured reserve after clearing waivers when the Vikings waived him with an injury designation.
- QB Kirk Cousins: He ruptured his right Achilles tendon against the Green Bay Packers in week eight.
- RB Cam Akers: He ruptured his Achilles tendon against the Atlanta Falcons in week nine.
- ILB Jordan Hicks: He suffered a leg injury that developed compartment syndrome against the New Orleans Saints in week 10.
- DE Dean Lowry: He suffered a pectoral injury against the Denver Broncos in week 11.
- TE T.J. Hockenson: He suffered a torn right ACL and MCL against the Detroit Lions in week 16.
- OLB D.J. Wonnum: He suffered a torn quadriceps against the Detroit Lions in week 16.
