Chargers vs. Vikings: Complete Injury Report Released
The Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers have released their final injury reports ahead of their crucial matchup on Thursday night at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Injury Report Overview
As the game approaches, both teams are facing significant injury concerns. While players often participated in walk-through practices this week, the injury designations are estimations based on their anticipated involvement in full workouts.
Minnesota Vikings Injury Updates
- Out: C.J. Ham, Andrew Van Ginkel
- Questionable: Both starting tackles
The Vikings have ruled out C.J. Ham and Andrew Van Ginkel. While Van Ginkel’s absence was expected, he is showing signs of progress, potentially allowing for his return next week against the Detroit Lions. However, the team is concerned about both starting tackles, especially with Christian Darrisaw added to the injury list, as he did not participate in Wednesday’s practice. Brian O’Neill has been upgraded to limited practice, hinting at a possible appearance on Thursday.
Los Angeles Chargers Injury Situation
- Out: Hassan Haskins, Otito Ogbonnia (IR)
- Questionable: Seven players, including three starters
The Chargers have confirmed two players are out, while seven others are listed as questionable, a category that often indicates a 50/50 chance of playing. Tackle Joe Alt is among the key players managing an ankle injury but remains optimistic about participating on game day. Right tackle Trey Pipkins, who has also been limited in practice, could return from injury, contributing to the team’s efforts.
Game Day Expectations
The players’ questionable statuses suggest they could play, yet they may not be at full strength due to their recent injuries. Historically, players with such designations have about a 66% to 70% chance of participating in the game.
As both teams prepare for what promises to be a competitive matchup, the final outcomes of these injury reports could significantly influence the game. Fans will be watching closely to see how the injuries affect the Vikings and Chargers’ performance on Thursday night at SoFi Stadium.
