The first Minnesota Vikings injury report had only one name on it in linebacker Troy Dye. On Thursday, the Vikings added a second player in punter Ryan Wright. He was added with an ankle injury.
The good news for the Vikings is they both practiced in full on Thursday afternoon. Both players should be ready to play on Sunday afternoon.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a lot more issues to deal with in regards to injuries. Their first round pick defensive tackle Calijah Kancey (calf) was limited in practice and second-round pick guard Cody Mauch was added to the injury report and did not practice.
They have four other players on the report, including hometown hero safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (calf) but they look to be a lot closer to playing than the other two.
Friday’s injury report is going to tell us a lot more about the status of all of these players.
