Minnesota Vikings Injury Report – Week 5 (Thursday)

The Minnesota Vikings injury report updates have been quite the breath of fresh air, so far this week. Maybe it’s that everyone wants to be a part of the trip to London, maybe it’s just dumb luck. Either way, a very healthy Vikings squad is heading across the pond, and that’s something we haven’t been able to say much so far this season.

Minnesota Vikings injury report looking even better on Thursday

On Wednesday, the only “Did Not Practice” was CB Akayleb Evans, and it was due to an illness. On Thursday,
Evans was back practicing at full. Even better news, nobody new was added. MLB Ivan Pace Jr (Ankle) also went from limited yesterday to a full participant today. TE Josh Oliver (Wrist) and WR Brandon Powell (Chest) were the only Vikings players who weren’t fully available.

Last week, Jordan Addison returned to the Vikings starting lineup, and made an immediate impact, forcing the Green Bay Packers defense forcing them to pull back on some of the extra attention they were trying to pay to Justin Jefferson. Now, Ivan Pace Jr is set to return on defense, making Brian Flores’ elite unit even better.

Darnold was listed on the initial week 5 Minnesota Vikings injury report, which was released on Wednesday. Even then, he was marked as a full participant. As of now, every starter on the roster, outside of TE TJ Hockenson, is expected to be on the field. But even the Pro Bowl tight end returned to practice this week, too.
