Ahead of Sunday afternoon's game against the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings have released their initial week 17 injury report. Now, the report is just an estimation being that the Vikings didn't practice on Christmas Day.
- CB Fabian Moreau (hip): Did not practice
- S Harrison Smith (foot): Did not practice
- DT Jalen Redmond (concussion): Limited
- ILB Blake Cashman (hip): Full
- FB C.J. Ham (ankle): Full
- OLB Pat Jones II (knee): Full
- TE Josh Oliver (wrist): Full
- ILB Ivan Pace Jr. (hamstring): Full
Moreau and Smith both missed last Sunday's 27-24 win against the Seattle Seahawks with their injuries. O'Connell was hopeful that Moreau would get some work in this week and that the week off would be ready for Sunday afternoon.
Cashman, Jones, and Oliver have been constants on the injury report for a few weeks. Jones is the only one to have missed a game because of the injury he's been listed with. Oliver missed a game, but it was due to an ankle injury, not the wrist injury he's been listed with over the last few weeks.
Redmond also took a step forward, which is great to see. He entered the concussion protocol after the final play against the Chicago Bears. Being listed as a limited participant is a great sign for his status on Sunday, the same of which goes for Pace.
The Packers also didn't practice on Christmas Day, but released an estimated injury report.
- LB Ty'Ron Hopper (ankle): Did not participate
- LB Quay Walker (ankle): Did not participate
- WR Christian Watson (knee): Did not participate
- S Evan Williams (quadriceps): Did not participate
- S Javon Bullard (ankle): Limited
- TE Tucker Kraft (hip): Limited
- TE Luke Musgrave (ankle): Limited
- CB Jaire Alexander (knee): Full
- CB Corey Ballentine (knee): Full
