Last minute injury status updates for both teams
Just ahead of the 3pm deadline to announce any Injured Reserve status changes in order for players to be active for tonight’s game, the Minnesota Vikings downgraded both T.J. Hockenson and Dalton Risner to OUT for tonight’s game. Given the deadline for both players to be activated from IR after their practice window was opened is tomorrow, both players will be activated tomorrow, which will result in some corresponding roster moves for the Vikings.
For the LA Rams, they activated WR Puka Nacua for tonight’s game, although he is expected to be limited in his snap count for the game as he comes back from a knee injury suffered in week one.
Also back for the Rams will be Cooper Kupp, who has no injury designation after recovering from an ankle injury earlier this season as well.
Not too much movement in the betting markets as a result of the moves. The Vikings remain a 2.5-point favorite (they were this morning as well before these announcements) and there has been minimal changes to the moneyline (Vikings still the favorite at -155 on DraftKings, and the over/under point number is 47.5. Both have changed minimally since yesterday.
