The Minnesota Vikings released their first injury report ahead of their week 18 matchup against the Detroit Lions and it has nine players on it.
- CB Byron Murphy Jr. (knee): Did not practice
- WR Jalen Nailor (concussion): Did not practice
- RT Brian O’Neill (ankle): Did not practice
- DE Jaquelin Roy (ankle): Did not practice
- CB Mekhi Blackmon (shoulder): Limited
- RG Ed Ingram (shoulder): Limited
- S Theo Jackson (toe): Limited
- TE Nick Muse (knee): Limited
- S Harrison Smith (shoulder): Limited
Once again, both Murphy and Nailor didn’t practice. They have missed the last two and three games, respectively, due to injury. O’Neill being on the report is likey due to wanting to rest his injured ankle, as he already played last week against the Green Bay Packers.
Muse, Smith and Ingram are all new additions to the report. Ingram left Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury. The progress throughout the week will determine whether or not they play on Sunday.
