Vikings add Ed Ingram to injury report

The one aspect that's different from the Wednesday injury report is the addition of right guard Ed Ingram. He dealt with some back issues earlier in the season but didn't miss any time. Ingram was replaced in the starting lineup by Dalton Risner in week 11 against the Tennessee Titans and has only played special teams snaps since.

The good news for the Vikings was Smith being upgraded to a full participant is good news for the Vikings. Smith missed the game two weeks ago against the Seattle Seahawks.

Jones not practicing for a second consecutive day is somewhat worrisome. Head coach Kevin O'Connell did mention that they were hopeful that Jones could end up available on Sunday. That is in serious doubt as we head into the weekend.

For the Lions, things are a little bit different. They are very injured but starting to get a little bit healthier.

  • OG Christian Mahogany (illness): Did not practice
  • RB David Montgomery (knee): Did not practice 
  • CB Emmanuel Moseley (illness): Did not practice
  • LB Alex Anzalone (forearm): Full
  • LB Jack Campbell (rib): Full
  • CB Amik Robertson (calf): Full
  • WR Kalif Raymond (foot): Full
