The Thursday injury report for the Minnesota Vikings matchup against the Tennessee Titans has been released and it has a multitude of good news.

This is an important development for Darnold, who was estimated as limited on Wednesday's injury report. He was seen during the game on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars flexing his hand on the sidelines. Having him see improvement is huge.

The Vikings also saw improvement from Robinson who head coach Kevin O'Connell said would be limited on Wednesday. The jump to full is a great sign for the left tackle to play on Sunday.
For the Titans, the really important player to watch is cornerback L'Jarius Sneed. He did not practice the first two days with a quad injury. If he doesn't go, that will severely limit the effectiveness of the Titans' pass defense in coverage. Sneed is one of the better press-man cornerbacks in the NFL and not having him could decide the game before it starts.
