The Minnesota Vikings are set to take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday afternoon at 12 pm central. Unfortunately, they will be doing it without one of their key players.
Outside linebacker Marcus Davenport will miss his second game of the season with an ankle injury he suffered the Thursday before week one against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Buy Vikings TicketsOther than Davenport, the Vikings had five players on the injury report on both Wednesday and Thursday. There was a lot of movement on Friday with the final injury report and we have it all broken down here, including multiple players coming off.
Out
- OLB Marcus Davenport (ankle)
Davenport missed the Vikings first game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and played only four snaps against the Philadelphia Eagles. Davenport didn’t practice all week and his ankle injury is becoming worrisome.
Doubtful
Nobody is doubtful for the Vikings on Sunday.
Questionable
- C Garrett Bradbury (back)
Bradbury missed last week’s game against the Eagles after getting injured in the first quarter against the Buccaneers. He didn’t practice until Thursday but was limited on both Thursday and Friday. It’s a good sign for Bradbury
Removed from injury report
- LT Christian Darrisaw (ankle)
- S Josh Metellus (shoulder)
- ILB Jordan Hicks (shin)
Darrisaw coming off the injury report is huge for the Vikings with Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack on the other side on Sunday.
Both Metellus and Hicks coming off was something to be expected, as they both played the entire game on Thursday night.
Injured reserve
- WR Jalen Nailor: The Vikings placed Nailor on injured reserve on Thursday after acquiring Cam Akers.
- LT Oli Udoh: He tore his quadriceps tendon against the Philadelphia Eagles and is out for the season.
- RB Kene Nwangwu: Nwangwu has been injured since the beginning of training camp.
- 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.
NFI list
- IOL Chris Reed: Reed has been on the list since training camp started with an unknown injury.
- WR Malik Knowles: The Vikings waived Knowles with an injury and he reverted back to the NFI list after clearing waivers. He is out for the season.
