The Minnesota Vikings will be taking on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon with a lot of questions surrounding the game.

Defensive coordinator Brian Flores is going to have his hands full with Jalen Hurts, but his scheme is perfect to neutralize him. Outside of that, head coach Kevin O’Connell is taking on Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, and that chess match is a fantastic one.

The final injury report is out, and the Vikings have mixed news coming from it, including a starting quarterback.

Minnesota Vikings Friday injury report

Player	Injury	W/T/F	Designation
EDGE Tyler Batty	Knee	Full/Full/Full	Questionable
ILB Blake Cashman	Hamstring	Full/Full/Full	Questionable
C Michael Jurgens	Hamstring	Full/Full/Full	Questionable
QB Carson Wentz	Shoulder	Full/Full/Full	None
DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins	Hip	Limited/Limited/Limited	Questionable
EDGE Andrew Van Ginkel	Neck	Limited/Limited/Limited	Out
LG Donovan Jackson	Wrist	Limited/Full/Full	None
QB J.J. McCarthy	Ankle	Limited/Limited/Limited	Questionable
RT Brian O’Neill	Knee	Limited/Limited/Limited	Questionable
LT Christian Darrisaw	Not Injury Related-Rest	None/DNP/Full	None
EDGE Jonathan Greenard	Hamstring	None/Limited/Full	None
DL Jonathan Allen	Not Injury Related-Rest	None/None/Limited	None
DL Javon Hargrave	Not Injury Related-Rest	None/None/Limited	None
S Harrison Smith	Not Injury Related-Rest	None/None/Limited	None

Observations

• J.J. McCarthy isn’t going to be the starting quarterback, but he was named the emergency quarterback for Carson Wentz. Max Brosmer will be the backup. This is an important step for McCarthy, as he is likely to suit up.
• Jurgens is listed as questionable for the game with his hamstring injury, which prompted head coach Kevin O’Connell to name Blake Brandel the starting center.
• Jackson will be returning on Sunday, and Greenard won’t be missing the game with his hamstring injury, as neither player has a designation.
• Cashman just had his 21-day practice window opened, and O’Connell said his return is more of a procedural move.

Philadelphia Eagles Friday injury report

Player	Injury	W/T/F	Designation
DT Jordan Davis	Shoulder	Full/Full/Full	None
DT Jalen Carter	Heel	Full/Limited/Limited	Questionable
LB Zack Baun	Finger	Full/Full/Full	None
OG Landon Dickerson	Ankle	Limited/Limited/Full	Questionable
CB Quinyon Mitchell	Hamstring	Limited/Full/Full	None
TE Grant Calcaterra	Oblique	DNP/DNP/DNP	Out

Observations

• Of all the injuries, the biggest is to Carter. After being a full participant in practice on Wednesday, he’s been limited over the last two days. Being listed as questionable is a tough designation, and it will be one to monitor going into Sunday.
• Mitchell playing is going to be massive for the Eagles. Their other cornerbacks are not up to snuff, but Mitchell is one of the best young cornerbacks in the game.
