The Minnesota Vikings are set to take on the Buffalo Bills Monday night in a game that feels like a must-win.

After starting 6-0 on the season, the Vikings lost a tough game to the Detroit Lions and things are not going well. The quarterback position is in a tough spot, especially so with Kyler Murray out for the game and Carson Wentz getting the start.

Who else is on the injury report? Well, both teams are loaded with players.

Observations

  • No practice for Murray after being ruled out isn’t a surprise. He will hopefully be back to practice by next Wednesday.
  • Jackson missing time is a big deal. He’s been a starter the majority of the year but having someone else take over his role isn’t the worst thing. It’s worse that Ward is also on here as well.
