The Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons have issued their second injury report of the week in advance of their Sunday night game. Here they are:
Minnesota Vikings
Did not participate
- LB Blake Cashman, hamstring
- OLB Andrew Van Ginkel, concussion
- RB Ty Chandler, knee
- CB Jeff Okudah, concussion
- C Ryan Kelly, toe
- TE Josh Oliver, ankle
- QB J.J. McCarthy, personal (birth of his son)
Limited participation
- S Harrison Smith, illness
- PR/KR Myles Price, knee
- LT Christian Darrisaw, knee
- RB Zavier Scott, ankle
- CB Isaiah Rodgers, elbow
Full participation
- WR Jalen Nailor, hand
- DT Elijah Williams, hamstring
Largely the same status for players on yesterday’s list, except both Christian Darrisaw and Zavier Scott were downgraded from full to limited. Darrisaw seems to be on this full-limited-full schedule so that may not be a big deal regarding his status for Sunday night. Scott being downgraded may be more significant.
There were also two additions: J.J. McCarthy didn’t practice due to the birth of his son- congratulations McCarthy family! – and Isaiah Rodgers was limited with an elbow injury. I don’t expect that to be significant enough to keep him out Sunday night, however.
Atlanta Falcons
Limited participation
- WR Darnell Mooney (shoulder)
- WR Drake London (shoulder)
- S DeMarcco Hellams (hamstring)
- EDGE James Pearce Jr. (groin)
- S Billy Bowman Jr. (shoulder)
Did not participate
- WR Casey Washington (concussion)
- WR Jamal Agnew (groin)
- S Jordan Fuller (knee)
- OL Jack Nelson (calf)
Same status for everyone on the Falcons injury report today, but with the addition of Billy Bowman who was limited with a shoulder injury. The key injury to watch is WR Darnell Mooney, who is a starter for the Falcons and has been a productive receiver. His status remains up in the air for Sunday night. Casey Washington has been Mooney’s backup, so if he doesn’t clear concussion protocol, the Falcons could be playing their third string wide receiver.
At the moment for the Vikings starters, Cashman and Chandler are definitely out for Sunday night, while Van Ginkel and Okudah seem more doubtful to clear concussion protocol on a short week, but I expect Darrisaw to be back, but doubtful on Harrison Smith from what I can gather. Not sure on Josh Oliver and Ryan Kelly but based on Kevin O’Connell’s description of injuries these aren’t likely to keep them out Sunday night.
For the Falcons, Mooney seems questionable at this point among starters, not sure about Bowman. Drake London is likely to play.
