The Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles have issued their final injury report and injury designations in advance of Sunday’s matchup at U.S. Bank Stadium. Here they are:
For the Vikings, they will get Donovan Jackson back at left guard, but probably not Brian O’Neill at right tackle, who remained limited in Friday’s practice and has a questionable designation. Kevin O’Connell announced that Carson Wentz will start at quarterback and Max Brosmer will be the backup. J.J. McCarthy, who remained limited in practice all week, will be the emergency third quarterback on Sunday. Blake Cashman and Tyler Batty should be activated from IR and be available on Sunday given they’ve been full participants in practice all week. Andrew Van Ginkel was ruled out as he is still dealing with his neck injury. Difficult to determine when he’ll be back, but his practicing in full pads and helmet this week was a sign of progress. Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins was limited all week in practice so he seems less likely to be active, but Jonathan Greenard will start after being limited with a hamstring injury in practice this week.
For the Eagles, only three designations. Backup tight-end Grant Calcaterra was ruled out after not practicing all week, while Jalen Carter, who said earlier in the week that he would play Sunday, is listed as questionable after being downgraded to limited on Thursday and Friday, presumably after suffering a setback with his heel injury. He had a questionable designation last weekend and did not play. Starting left guard Landon Dickerson is said to have a questionable designation, although he is not listed with such on the injury report on the Eagles website. There is a mistake there somewhere. He was a full participant in practice on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday, and wasn’t expected to play on Sunday, but perhaps he’s progressing better than anticipated. Quinyon Mitchell, who was dealing with a hamstring injury, was a full participant in both Thursday and Friday practices and will start at cornerback on Sunday.
Inactive players are announced about an hour before the game on Sunday and that’s when we’ll get the final status on those with questionable designations.
