The Minnesota Vikings are less than 48 hours away from taking on the Arizona Cardinals and they have released their final injury report.
- TE Josh Oliver (wrist/ankle): Out
- S Jay Ward (elbow): Out
- LT Cam Robinson (foot): Questionable
Not having Oliver didn't prove to be a major issue against the Chicago Bears, especially in the run game. They ran for 124 yards and a touchdown but that number could have been more if they had Oliver's excellent blocking abilities. He's also emerged as a legitimate threat in the passing game and has been a big factor for the Vikings in that realm
The other player out is Ward, who hasn't gotten many snaps on defense but has played a lot on special teams.
The last Vikings player on the injury report is Robinson, who injured his foot against the Bears and didn't return. He did practice all week, including being a full participant on Friday after being limited the first two days. His availability could be huge for the Vikings.
On the other side of the football, the Cardinals will have four players questionable, including the 27th overall pick defensive lineman Darius Robinson.
DL Darius Robinson (calf): Questionable
S Joey Blound (hip): Questionable
RB emari Demercado (back): Questionable
S Jalen Thompson (ankle): Questionable
