The Minnesota Vikings have released their first injury report with it being an estimation, as the Vikings didn't have practice on Wednesday afternoon.
- QB Sam Darnold (right hand): Limited
- RB Aaron Jones (ribs): Limited
- OLB Gabe Murphy (knee): Limited
- TE Josh Oliver (wrist/hand): Limited
- LT Cam Robinson (foot): Limited
- OLB Andrew Van Ginkel (hip): Limited
- ILB Blake Cashman (elbow): Full
- S Theo Sackson (hand): Full
- ILB Ivan Pace Jr. (knee): Full
There are two standouts on the initial injury report: Cashman and Darnold.
The Vikings just got Cashman back on Sunday afternoon against the Jacksonville Jaguars after he missed three games with a turf toe injury. He suffered it against the New York Jets and needed four weeks to hear. The interesting thing here is that the toe is no longer listed on the injury report but a new injury has him still on there with an elbow. That will be something worth monitoring.
The other element to keep tabs on is Darnold. He was seen flexing his hand and trying to work out some sort of injury during Sunday's game against the Jaguars. He didn't miss a play on Sunday but the limited designation is concerning.
The Vikings are likely to hold practice on Thursday which will give us a clearer picture.
