The Minnesota Vikings have unveiled the final injury report ahead of a Week 9 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.
After not practicing this week, Dean Lowry is officially out against the Falcons. Brian Asamoah II, Jalen Nailor, and Chris Reed are all listed as questionable.
Brandon Powell, KJ Osborn, and Akayleb Evans had been limited all week but were removed from Friday's report. The receivers and Evans are pivotal to this team, so it's good to see all three ready to go.
Reed and Nailor have both had their 21-day practice windows opened. This means that the players will either have to be activated or revert back to IR for the rest of the season.
With Lowry sidelined, I'd expect to see Khyiris Tonga slide in at nose tackle while Harrison Phillips slides over to defensive end. We should see a healthy dose of the rookie Jaquelin Roy as well.
Asamoah has fallen out of the team's game plan after being named a preseason starter. The linebacker has ceded playing time to rookie UDFA Ivan Pace Jr. thus far.
The Vikes and Falcons are slated to kick off from Atlanta on Sunday at 1 p.m. Eastern.
