The Minnesota Vikings sit at 4-4 on the season and another win could launch them back into the playoff discussion.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell has a tough challenge on his hands with a Baltimore Ravens team that is getting healthier and healthier. In fact, they have zero players on the injury report for the second consecutive day. That’s almost unheard of for a team in Week 10.

As things stand, the Vikings have 10 players on their injury report, and who ends up playing will be a huge deal.

Observations

  • Darrisaw practiced in full on Wednesday and had his normal off day on Thursday. Look for him to be a full participant on Friday.
  • A couple of new additions to the report are Will Fries and Jalen Redmond. The former did improve to a full participant in practice, which is a very good thing. Redmond didn’t take a step back, but it’s going to be worth watching.
  • No Andrew Van Ginkel on the injury report is massive, as he’s been a huge factor in the Vikings’ success on defense.
  • Jones is dealing with an AC joint sprain, and his availability is up in the air. Practicing in a limited capacity is a very good thing for his status on Sunday afternoon.
