Let’s see what changes have been made
We’re back with a look at the second injury reports of the week for the Houston Texans and the Minnesota Vikings as they prepare for their Week 3 clash at U.S. Bank Stadium. Let’s take a look and see whether or not these teams made any changes from their initial reports.
Houston Texans
Did Not Participate
- RB Joe Mixon (ankle)
- RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring)
Limited Participation
- CB Kris Boyd (hip, upgrade from DNP on Wednesday)
- WR Nico Collins (hip/calf, upgrade from DNP on Wednesday)
- DT Folorunso Fatukasi (shoulder, upgrade from DNP on Wednesday)
- OL Jarrett Patterson (calf, upgrade from DNP on Wednesday)
- LB Azeez Al-Shaair (shin)
- OL Juice Scruggs (groin, upgrade from DNP on Wednesday)
- S M.J. Stewart (knee)
Full Participation
- CB Kamari Lassiter (elbow, new addition to injury report)
- TE Dalton Schultz (ankle, upgrade from limited on Wednesday)
Plenty of positive news for the visiting team on today’s report, as they’ve upgraded six players from where they were on Wednesday’s first report. None of those six players are running backs, as Mixon and Pierce continue to sit out of practice sessions for Houston. It’s looking more like Cam Akers could end up being the primary ball carrier for the Texans in this one but we’ll see what the final reports bring on Friday.
Minnesota Vikings
Did Not Participate
- WR Jordan Addison (ankle)
- OLB Dallas Turner (knee)
Limited Participation
- WR Justin Jefferson (quad)
- LB Ivan Pace Jr. (quad)
Full Participation
- C Garrett Bradbury (knee, upgrade from limited on Wednesday)
- G Ed Ingram (tricep)
- RB Aaron Jones (hip, upgrade from limited on Wednesday)
- WR Jalen Nailor (ankle)
- OT Brian O’Neill (elbow, upgrade from DNP on Wednesday)
- OLB Andrew Van Ginkel (foot, upgrade from limited on Wednesday)
Good news for the Vikings as well, as four of their players from Wednesday’s report went from either not practicing or being limited to full participation in the Thursday session. Things aren’t looking good for Addison’s chances, as he did work on one of the rehab fields, and it’s starting to not look great for Turner, either. Jefferson will likely be a full go for Friday’s practice and I’d be surprised if he wound up with an injury designation for Sunday at all.
Those are the second injury reports of the week for the Vikings and the Texans, folks. Final reports of the week drop tomorrow and we’ll have those for you as soon as we’re able.
