The Minnesota Vikings and Inexperienced Bay Packers issued their second damage reviews of the week upfront of Sunday afternoon’s matchup. Right here they’re:
Minnesota Vikings
For the Vikings, issues are shaping up the place solely Fabian Moreau will probably be out on Sunday for the Packers’ sport. Jalen Redmond being upgraded to full participation suggests he’s via the concussion protocol and Ivan Tempo Jr. being a full participant in each practices suggests he’ll be activated for the sport on Sunday as properly. Harrison Smith being upgraded to a full participant additionally bodes properly for his availability on Sunday.
I wouldn’t be shocked if solely Moreau has an damage designation for Sunday’s sport.
Inexperienced Bay Packers
For the Packers, Evan Williams is just not anticipated to play on Sunday.
Packers’ head coach Matt LaFleur was requested if Jaire Alexander was extra prone to play this week in comparison with final week, when he didn’t play, and his reply was, “probably not.” His feedback on Alexander damage standing had been a bit terse as properly, all of which suggests he gained’t play on Sunday.
LaFleur additionally commented on Christian Watson, who was listed as a DNP for the second straight apply, as his resolution primarily based on how he feels going into gameday. That implies a questionable designation for Sunday’s sport, though LaFleur mentioned he was trending in the correct route.
Quay Walker appears extra uncertain for Sunday’s sport in the mean time. He’s been listed as a DNP for each practices and LaFleur’s feedback about him didn’t appear as optimistic. If he can’t go, former Viking Eric Wilson is prone to substitute him.
Javon Bullard appears extra prone to play on Sunday however may have a questionable designation after being restricted in each practices. The 2 tight ends are prone to play on Sunday regardless of being restricted in apply to this point this week.
The Packers’ secondary will probably be skinny if each Alexander and Williams don’t play on Sunday, and much more so if Bullard can’t go as properly.
Lastly, backup deal with Andre Dillard confirmed up on the damage report for the primary time this week on Thursday, being evaluated for a concussion, which casts some doubt on his availability on Sunday. And so did beginning left guard Elgton Jenkins with a knee damage. He’s been on and off the Packers’ damage report fairly a bit so uncertain on the severity of the damage at this point- if it’s extra precautionary and one thing he’ll proceed to play via or if it’s worse and will preserve him out of Sunday’s game- which might be a big loss. One thing to regulate when tomorrow’s ultimate damage report comes out.
