The first injury report for the Minnesota Vikings was released on Wednesday and it came with good news.
- C Garrett Bradbury (rest): Did not practice
- ILB Ivan Pace Jr. (knee): Did not practice
- OLB Andrew Van Ginkel (rest): Did not practice
- ILB Blake Cashman (toe): Limited
- CB Akayleb Evans (hip): Limited
- OLB Gabe Murphy (knee): Limited
- S Theo Jackson (hand): Full
- TE Josh Oliver (wrist): Full
Head coach Kevin O'Connell delivered the good news about Cashman in his Wednesday press conference. Getting back on the practice field is huge for Cashman, as he's missed the last three games with his toe injury.
The Vikings also had two players resting in Van Ginkel and Bradbury. It's important to note about Van Ginkel, as defensive coordinator Brian Flores mentioned he was dealing with something against the Indianapolis Colts.
Evans was inactive against the Colts on Sunday and the duo of Oliver and Jackson have been consistently active while being in the injury report for weeks. We also saw Murphy return to practice, as his practice window was activated on Wednesday.
The one real concern here is with Pace. He was dealing with a knee injury earlier this year and missed two games in weeks three and four. That is something to keep an eye on.
