Vikings at Packers: First Injury Report

The Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers have issued their first injury reports in advance of Sunday’s game at Lambeau Field. Here they are:

Minnesota Vikings

• RG Will Fries, Knee, DNP
• OLB Jonathan Greenard, Shoulder, DNP
• LT Christian Darrisaw, Knee, Full
• RB Aaron Jones, Shoulder, Full
• C Ryan Kelly, Concussion, Full

Ryan Kelly being a full participant on Wednesday suggests he’ll start on Sunday, gaining back his starting spot from Blake Brandel, who did a good job in his stead. Will Fries not participating was a bit of a surprise, but this may be more of a day off to rest the knee rather than a sign he’ll be out on Sunday. We’ll see. Jonathan Greenard still not practicing suggests he may be more questionable to play on Sunday after missing the Bears game, but we’ll see if he is able to ramp up the rest of the week.

Green Bay Packers

• DT Karl Brooks, Ankle, DNP
• CB Nate Hobbs, Knee, DNP
• RB Josh Jacobs, Knee, DNP
• LB Quay Walker, Neck, DNP
• WR Savion Williams, Foot, DNP
• S Javon Bullard, Ankle, Limited
• LB Edgerrin Cooper, Foot, Limited
• WR Romeo Doubs, Wrist, Limited
• WR Matthew Golden, Shoulder/Wrist, Limited
• CB Keisean Nixon, Illness, Limited
• DE Micah Parsons, Pectoral, Limited
• RT Zach Tom, Back, Limited
• DE Lukas Van Ness, Foot, Limited
• WR Christian Watson, Knee, Limited
• WR Dontayvion Wicks, Calf, Limited
• QB Jordan Love, Left Shoulder, Full
• K Brandon McManus, Right Quad, Full

The Packers have a long injury list but I suspect all those listed as limited or full will play on Sunday. Nate Hobbs has been out a while so if he isn’t able to practice much again this week I suspect he’ll be out on Sunday. Josh Jacobs and Quay Walker both suffered their injuries last Sunday, so they may be more questionable to play on Sunday as well. Both are starters, as is Hobbs.

We’ll see what tomorrow and Friday’s reports bring.
