The Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons have issued their final injury report of the week in advance of their Sunday night game, along with injury ststuses. Here they are:
- CB Jeff Okudah, concussion, OUT
- OLB Andrew Van Ginkel, concussion, OUT
- S Harrison Smith, Illness, QUESTIONABLE
- LT Christian Darrisaw, OUT
- LB Austin Keys, groin, full practice, QUESTIONABLE
For the Vikings, Blake Cashman and Ty Chandler were placed on IR so they no longer appear on the injury report but will miss at least four games beginning Sunday night. Neither Okudah or Van Ginkel made it through concussion protocol so they will be out Sunday night too. Christian Darrisaw I’m assuming experienced some swelling or other issue so was downgraded to out this week. Hopefully this isn’t an ongoing issue. Austin Keys was a late addition, but given he was a full participant in practice, he seems likely to play. Other guys that were listed earlier in the week- Ryan Kelly and Josh Oliver for example, we’re full participants in practice and have no injury designation for Sunday night’s prime time game.

- S DeMarcco Hellams, hamstring, QUESTIONABLE
- EDGE James Pearce Jr., groin, QUESTIONABLE
- S Billy Bowman Jr., shoulder, QUESTIONABLE
- WR Casey Washington, concussion, OUT
- WR Jamal Agnew, groin, OUT
- S Jordan Fuller, knee, OUT
- OL Jack Nelson, calf, OUT
For the Falcons, they got some good news that WR Darnell Mooney will not have an injury designation after suffering a shoulder injury and will play Sunday night. Billy Bowman Jr. is their only starter with an injury designation and is questionable for Sunday night.
Overall, disappointing that Christian Darrisaw is not able to return yet and the missing Van Ginkel, Cashman, Okudah, and quite possibly Harrison Smith (who was limited in Friday’s practice) will test their depth defensively.
