The Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions have shared their initial injury reports ahead of their matchup on Sunday at Ford Field.

Injury Updates for Vikings and Lions

Minnesota Vikings Injury Report

The Vikings received positive news regarding several key players. On Wednesday, Christian Darrisaw, J.J. McCarthy, and Andrew Van Ginkel fully participated in practice.

• Participants:
  • Christian Darrisaw – Full Participant
  • J.J. McCarthy – Full Participant
  • Andrew Van Ginkel – Full Participant
• Limited Participants:
  • Jonathan Greenard
  • Brian O’Neill
  • Isaiah Rodgers
• Did Not Practice:
  • C.J. Ham
  • Jeff Okudah
  • Josh Oliver

Okudah’s situation is particularly noteworthy, as he may clear concussion protocols in time for Sunday. Conversely, Oliver, who was carted off in the last game, will need to show significant improvement to play this weekend. Overall, the Vikings appear close to full strength, missing only Ryan Kelly.

Detroit Lions Injury Report

The Lions are also managing injuries ahead of their game. Rodriquez and Thomas have returned from Injured Reserve (IR) with their 21-day window activated.

• Expected Absences:
  • Rodriquez – Expected to miss the Vikings game
• Ongoing Injuries:
  • Kerby Joseph – Dealing with a knee injury
  • Al-Quadin Muhammad – Replacing an injured Marcus Davenport
  • Terrion Arnold – Full participant, returning from shoulder injury

Karey Joseph’s ability to participate remains uncertain, while the Lions are coming off a bye week. This may help many limited players recover in time for the match.

Upcoming Updates

Additional injury reports will be available on El-Balad. These will clarify the availability of players ahead of the Vikings vs. Lions game this Sunday.
