Vikings Friday Injury Report: Christian Darrisaw improves, while the Bills have two late additions
Both the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills have extensive injury reports, including one starting quarterback.
The Minnesota Vikings are set to take on the Buffalo Bills Monday night in a game that feels like a must-win.
Even with a 6-0 start, the Vikings appear to be in a dire situation at quarterback. Carson Wentz is going to start over Kyler Murray, and that could change everything for the Vikings. We don’t know if it will or won’t, but they had to try something to fix the offense.
There are some fascinating names on the injury report, including some who could be in danger of missing Monday’s game.
