The Minnesota Vikings enter their Week 10 trip to Green Bay with a clear injury picture: five players have been ruled out and three others are questionable for Sunday’s 133rd Border Battle. It leaves a 6-2 team having to manage a short week carefully before kicking off at noon CT.
The biggest name on the list is Blake Cashman, who was diagnosed with a concussion this week and has been ruled out. That is a significant blow for a Vikings side already dealing with a condensed turnaround after finishing Week 9 against Buffalo on Monday Night Football.
Question marks after Friday’s update
Friday brought another layer to the report when Jordan Addison and Joshua Metellus were added and listed as questionable. In a week where availability has already shifted quickly, those designations matter because the Vikings are trying to keep their balance intact before facing the Green Bay Packers.
The short week is the key part of this story. When a team plays on Monday night and then has to prepare for a Sunday game, the margin for recovery is tighter, and the injury report often changes late in the week. For Minnesota, that has now meant five ruled out and three questionable heading into one of the most familiar games on the schedule.
What this means for Sunday
The Vikings will still go to Green Bay with their 6-2 record intact, but they will have to navigate the Border Battle without a full group available. With Blake Cashman out and Jordan Addison and Joshua Metellus uncertain, the final availability list has become a major part of the build-up.
For a game of this size, the report is not just background noise. It shapes how the Vikings can approach the matchup, and it leaves the final decisions on the questionable trio as one of the most important parts of the week.
